[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and one of the ruling party's leadership candidates, raised his voice, urging the government to conduct PCR (polymerase chain reaction) mass testing in preparation for the sharp increase in COVID-19 infections in China.


On the 29th, Yoo said through his social media (SNS), "Since the Chinese government lifted the COVID-19 lockdown and stopped releasing confirmed case statistics, infections have surged, the number of travelers from China has increased, and travelers to South Korea are also expected to rise."



He added, "Our government's strong response is urgently needed," noting that "several countries including the United States, Japan, India, and Italy are strengthening measures such as mass COVID-19 testing for arrivals from China."
