[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party who declared his candidacy for the Seoul mayoral by-election, participated in COVID-19 medical volunteer activities on the 15th.

On the day, Ahn visited the temporary screening clinic at Seoul Plaza and said, “Medical volunteer work is meaningful, but I plan to use this opportunity to directly inspect the site, check for any improvements needed, and then help organize the Seoul city quarantine system.”

Right after volunteering, Ahn stated, “It seems the system is working well for now. However, from what I heard earlier, there seems to be a shortage of chairs. Since it involves standing all day, doctors need to work in shifts after half a day to maintain concentration and carefully collect specimens.” He added, “A system should be established to ensure smooth securing of medical staff.”

Regarding COVID-19 vaccines, Ahn said, “Security is about protecting the lives and safety of our people. In that sense, COVID-19 quarantine also falls under security.” He continued, “I intend to actively help secure effective vaccines as quickly as possible.”
