President Moon Jae-in said on the 17th, ahead of the Chuseok holiday, “I hope that all the people will be strong and hopeful, and I hope that it will be a Chuseok that encourages each other and inspires hope.”
In a Facebook post on the same day, President Moon said, “I give special comfort and encouragement to small business owners and self-employed people who are having a hard time due to the prolonged corona virus.”
President Moon said, “The first dose, 36 million people. 70% of the total population completed the first dose within 204 days of the start of the vaccination.
President Moon continued, “It has shown Korea’s unparalleled potential in vaccination,” adding, “It is thanks to the country’s excellent inoculation infrastructure, dedicated efforts of medical staff, and the public’s high awareness of participation. “Now, we are moving toward 80% of the population inoculation, and soon the country will have the highest inoculation completion rate in the world,” he said. Hope will surely come sooner.” In addition, President Moon said, “I am well aware of the difficulties (of the self-employed). The first inoculation alone will not solve the problem, but if the second inoculation is advanced, the situation will improve little by little,” he said.
