When a suspected case of Omicron was discovered in Korea, President Moon Jae-in issued an emergency order.

President Moon ordered the immediate implementation of more stringent quarantine measures to prevent the inflow of Omicron mutations.

Although the analysis of the new mutation has not been done yet, it is based on the judgment that it could be a major phase in the future Corona response.

In addition, he ordered that the development of a diagnostic kit for the detection of micron mutations be completed as soon as possible, and that a quarantine strategy to respond to this should be quickly established.

Above all, the Blue House explained that it ordered the authorities to take a stern response to the situation with extraordinary determination.

President Moon’s urgent instructions came a day after the decision to implement special quarantine measures for the next four weeks at the Corona 19 quarantine inspection meeting.

With news of the spread of Omicron already spreading around the world, the government has formed a cross-ministerial task force to preemptively discuss measures to block domestic inflows and countermeasures.

In addition to the increase in confirmed cases and severe cases, President Moon diagnosed that the difficulty in quarantine is increasing due to the influx of mutations.

At the same time, he repeatedly appealed to the public to strictly abide by the quarantine rules and to actively vaccinate.
