People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok said on the 30th that the Moon Jae-in government’s measures to lift the mandatory outdoor mask wearer said, “Looking at the current number of confirmed cases, it seems reasonable to remove the outdoor mask.” This was a different message from the President’s Takeover Committee, which expressed regret regarding the government’s measures, saying it was “too hasty judgment” and “premature”. CEO Lee also said to the takeover committee, “I want you to pay special attention to the message.”
In a post on his social networking service (SNS) this followingnoon, CEO Lee said, “Unlike other issues, this (removal of the obligation to wear an outdoor mask) is a problem that should not be seen as a conflict between the Moon Jae-in administration and the Yun Seok-yeol administration, and many citizens and small business owners It is a matter directly related to their livelihood,” he said.
To the transition committee, which expressed a critical stance on this measure, CEO Lee said, “I want you to pay special attention to the message so that the concerns raised by the transition committee do not appear as conflicts between the new and old regimes.” “The Moon Jae-in administration forced small business owners and the self-employed to make sacrifices for quarantine as a result of administrative convenience,” he said.
“However, the quarantine authorities should be able to carefully judge, guide and promote the guidelines for areas where the distinction between indoors and outdoors is ambiguous and the wearing of masks in crowded public transportation,” Lee wrote.
Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the takeover committee, said the day before when the government lifted the obligation to wear an outdoor mask from the 2nd of next month, he said, “It is a hasty decision.” There are concerns,” he said. Chairman Ahn announced the ‘Corona 19 Emergency Response 100-Day Roadmap’ on the 27th and said, “I will take the outdoor mask off around the end of May and judge the situation at that time.”
Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom announced at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters for the response to COVID-19 the day before, saying, “From Monday, May 2 of next week, the duty to wear a mask outdoors will in principle be lifted.”
