[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, repeatedly criticized the government's COVID-19 quarantine measures on the 11th.

On the same day, Yoon posted a brief message on Facebook saying, "Withdraw the unscientific quarantine pass (vaccination certificate and negative test confirmation system), withdraw the 9 PM business restriction, oppose mandatory vaccination for children and adolescents."

Yoon also pointed out the government's quarantine measures as "unscientific" at the 'Discussion on Scientific Quarantine Management of Indoor Air for COVID-19 and Seeking Alternatives' held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul.

Regarding the quarantine pass, he criticized, "Measures that restrict basic rights must have valid grounds, but the current government's quarantine policy is unscientific and excessive, as it is not based on scientific analysis and epidemiological data."

He continued, "Last week, I took the subway to work and shopped at a mart, but I couldn't understand why the quarantine pass does not apply to crowded buses and subways where it is difficult to move due to many people, while it applies to marts and department stores where there is relatively more space between people, depending on the time."

Yoon emphasized, "All quarantine measures must be scientific policies based solely on data," and stressed the need for a 'ventilation grading system' that considers indoor space size and ventilation levels of facilities.

Meanwhile, Yoon has recently been presenting short and concise 'one-line pledges' on Facebook. So far, he has announced pledges such as 'Abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family' and 'Soldiers' monthly salary of 2 million won' in this manner.
