[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Former lawmaker Cha Myung-jin, who was transferred to a negative pressure room at Icheon Medical Center due to pneumonia symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19, reported that his condition has improved and said, "(The hospital) is better than home."

On the 25th, Cha posted on his Facebook, mentioning a conversation with his attending physician, saying, "The nurses are very kind and take good care of me. Even the existing illness will disappear," expressing his sentiment.

Previously, Cha had expressed dissatisfaction on Facebook, stating that "Icheon Medical Center's facilities are worse than the Ansan Small and Medium Venture Training Center," and "There are no slippers, and the self-diagnosis kits are primitive."

Cha attended a rally in Gwanghwamun, Seoul on the 15th and was diagnosed with COVID-19 on the 19th. He was quarantined at the Ansan Small and Medium Venture Training Center, which is being used as a living treatment center, but was transferred to the negative pressure room at Icheon Medical Center on the 24th due to pneumonia symptoms.

Regarding the attending physician's inquiry about his current condition, Cha said, "Maybe because of the medicine, I feel like I could fly," and added, "The doctor said, 'It's not real pneumonia, just mild pneumonia symptoms. If it doesn't worsen in 2-3 days, it's safe to consider the illness over.'"

He also said, "The facilities are better than home," and "The nurses are really taking good care of me."

In a post on the 26th, Cha announced his improvement, saying, "My body temperature dropped, and everything returned to normal," and "I finally had a good rest."
