[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] This year's National Assembly audit will limit the number of attendees to a maximum of 50. Along with this, an online Q&A method is also expected to be introduced.


On the 17th, according to political circles, the National Assembly Secretariat distributed 'Audit Quarantine Consultation Items' to each standing committee in response to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


The National Assembly initially presented the '50·50·50' guideline to reduce the number of people gathered on-site.


This guideline stipulates that no more than 50 people gather in the audit hall and waiting areas respectively, and that the total number of attendees from the audited institutions does not exceed 50 per day.



Typically, the audit involves lawmakers and witnesses/references exchanging questions and answers in the same place. However, this time, it was recommended to mix in online Q&A using a video conferencing system.
