[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 11th that he hopes Jeong Eun-kyeong, Commissioner of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, "takes more rest and recovers."

On the same day, Lee shared a photo and article link on Facebook showing Commissioner Jeong attending the COVID-19 situation briefing the previous day with her right shoulder in a cast, saying, "My heart aches for the difficult situation of the commissioner who protects the entire nation but has no time to take care of her own health."

Lee said, "Seeing Commissioner Jeong, I think of everyone working hard to respond to COVID-19 in hospitals, screening centers, and all over South Korea even at this very moment," adding, "We will not forget our gratitude to the medical staff, hospital workers, public officials, epidemiological investigators, essential workers, and others who sacrifice their health and time with their families to protect us."
