Kim In-ho, Chair of Seoul Metropolitan Council, "Many Gaps in Seoul City's Quarantine Measures"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Kim In-ho, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, pointed out that there are many gaps in Seoul's COVID-19 quarantine measures.

On the 18th, Chairman Kim made this assessment during a phone interview on TBS's "Kim Eo-jun's News Factory," saying, "Even when there was no head, the situation was not this bad."

He continued, "I wonder which part has collapsed and whether we have been lax," adding, "There are stories that when confirmed cases suddenly exploded, people had almost returned to normal life."

He also voiced criticism regarding Mayor Oh Se-hoon's push to introduce self-diagnostic test kits. He emphasized, "Mayor Oh spent a lot of money to introduce self-diagnostic test kits, but no results have come out," and added, "15 billion won was allocated for tens of thousands of tests, but unfortunately, only four confirmed cases were found." He then said, "I hope the budget will be used for more efficient methods."

Meanwhile, regarding the 'Sewol Ferry Memorial Space,' which was temporarily relocated to the lobby of the Seoul Metropolitan Council main building, Chairman Kim said, "I understand that the bereaved families and Seoul City are discussing it privately."
