[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sun-hee] Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun visited emergency duty institutions such as fire stations and police substations on the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday, the 11th, to encourage the personnel. This was to commend the efforts of firefighters and police officers working emergency shifts during the holiday and to inspect the national safety preparedness for public security and fire safety during the holiday period.

On the morning of the same day, Prime Minister Chung visited the Seodaemun Fire Station in Seoul, received a report on the special fire watch duty status during the Lunar New Year holiday from Kim Kyung-geun, Chief of Seodaemun Fire Station, and encouraged the workers. Also present was Oh Young-hwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea and former firefighter.

Prime Minister Chung said, "Thanks to the firefighters' dedication day and night, the public can feel at ease," and added, "I extend my gratitude on behalf of the people to firefighters nationwide."

Prime Minister Chung also observed a demonstration of equipment such as negative pressure ambulances and negative pressure stretchers used for transporting COVID-19 patients. He said, "As vaccination begins, unexpected emergency situations may arise, so please prepare thoroughly to ensure smooth patient transport."
