[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party leadership, which had a confirmed COVID-19 case among its staff, held a remote video meeting on the morning of the 4th to check the status of coronavirus testing.

After a staff member in the Policy Committee Chairman's office was confirmed positive for COVID-19 the previous day, the leadership has been working from home.

For now, Policy Committee Chairman Lee Jong-bae and the staff in the Policy Committee office all tested negative, but employees who had close contact with Chairman Lee will undergo a two-week self-quarantine. Additionally, 27 other individuals who either visited the chairman’s office or met with the confirmed staff member were individually notified by the Yeongdeungpo Public Health Center to get tested that morning.

The leadership condemned the government and ruling party for delaying the recommendation of directors to the North Korean Human Rights Foundation on the 4th anniversary of the enactment of the North Korean Human Rights Act, criticized the bureaucratization of the Act, and urged the appointment of the Blue House Special Inspector, a position vacant for three years. They also checked the damage situation in the coastal areas of Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam, where fish farms and facilities suffered damage due to the typhoon.

The video meeting that day was attended by Floor Leader Joo Ho-young, Chief Kim Seong-won, and all deputy floor leaders.
