[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party emphasized the need to raise the social distancing level due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Yoon Hee-seok, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 21st, "Proactive response is the best quarantine measure."

He pointed out, "People's lives are threatened by the risk of daily infections, which can occur anytime, anywhere, and in any way," adding, "Although the government authorities acknowledge that the 'third wave' is underway, they are still hesitating to raise the social distancing level."

Spokesperson Yoon criticized, "While urging people to refrain from going out, the consumption coupon project encouraging travel and dining out is still ongoing," and said, "In the eyes of the public, the government's quarantine policy seems slow and even idle."

He said, "Unlike before, the fact that infections are occurring simultaneously nationwide is more threatening," and added, "Along with raising the social distancing level, more strengthened measures reflecting the opinions of field personnel and experts must be implemented immediately."

He continued, "The securing of COVID-19 vaccines and stable supply plans must also be perfectly prepared. Nothing is more important than the lives of the people."
