[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] Kang Min-seok, spokesperson for the Blue House, stated in a written briefing on the results of the senior secretaries and aides meeting on the 24th, "To strengthen social distancing measures due to the spread of COVID-19, the Blue House has minimized the number of attendees to essential personnel only for meetings presided over by the President starting today."

Spokesperson Kang explained, "For today's senior secretaries meeting, we installed transparent plastic partitions and minimized the number of attendees. However, even if senior secretaries were not physically present at the meeting, all former secretaries and above were able to watch the meeting in real-time through an internal live video streaming system."

Spokesperson Kang added, "The morning staff meeting presided over by President Moon Jae-in was also held in a small conference room at Yeomin Building 3, with transparent plastic partitions in place and attendees wearing masks," and continued, "Going forward, Blue House employees will wear masks at all times not only when commuting but also while working in their offices."

Spokesperson Kang said, "We have established response guidelines that strictly prohibit any conversation during meals in the cafeteria," and added, "Previously, the Blue House set up a COVID-19 emergency inspection meeting system chaired by Chief Presidential Secretary Noh Young-min, which has been in operation since last week."
