Residents protesting govt’s decision to quarantine S. Koreans returning from Wuhan.
South Korea also reported its fifth and sixth confirmed cases of the virus on Thursday, including the first case of a person infected in South Korea.About 700 South Koreans in Wuhan have registered to be flown out, but protesters in Asan and Jincheon, cities about 80km south of Seoul, the capital, used tractors on Wednesday to block access to facilities earmarked for quarantine centres.
The government wants to isolate evacuees for at least two weeks at the facilities, usually used as training centres for government officials, to rule out any symptoms.Domestic media broadcast images of protesters grabbing the hair of a health ministry official who visited late on Wednesday, before pushing him and dousing him with water.
A police cyber safety unit was working with telecoms regulators to block or delete false information that could provoke “social confusion,” Yonhap news agency said.“I am a mother of a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old,” said Jincheon resident Lee Ji-hyun, who was among a handful of protesters demanding that the quarantine centre be located further away from homes and schools.Others said they took children out of kindergarten or sent them to relatives in other cities.
In his speech, Moon tried to reassure residents, saying only those free of symptoms would be among the initial evacuees and would be placed in isolation.
