▲On Jan. 30th afternoon, while Chin Young, Minister of Public Administration and Security, and Governor Yang Seung-jo of Chungcheongnam-do Province are explaining the acceptance of Korean residents in Wuhan where the COVID-19 has infected, a local resident in Chungcheongnam-do is voicing opposition.

When China blocked Wuhan area for quarantine reasons, the governments all over the world began operations to "Bring Our Own People." On January 24th, the Korean government also decided to bring Korean citizens living in Wuhan, but the problem was 'Where' to put them. After much consideration, the government selected Jincheon in Chungcheongbuk-do Province and Asan in Chungcheongnam-do Province. However, the local residents, surprised by the threat of infectious diseases and the sudden decision, strongly protested the decision. Finally, on January 30th, Chin Young, Minister of Public Administration and Security, began to persuade them in person. The next day, the local residents welcomed waving signs when the buses carrying the 1st group of Korean citizens from Wuhan entered Police Human Development Institute in Asan.
"Welcome!! Please make yourself at home!"
