South korea`s new coronavirus cases rose to more than 1200 in a few days, becoming the largest fall country outside china. South korea, which is suffering, also found that, despite its state of readiness to share china`s destiny, china`s response was a bit overwhelming.
In an editorial published on the 24th in the English-language edition of the Chinese state media Global Times, South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy were classified as "countries with rapid spread of the new coronavirus ", saying:" The delay in prevention and control measures in these countries is a cause for concern.
China has quickly mobilized more than 40,000 medical personnel to support Wuhan and Hubei provinces, and it will be hard to do the same if other countries have a`second Wuhan`. "
China`s largest mobile news app," Today`s Headline," reported the spread of the new virus in South Korea on the same day, saying:" China did not prepare to take the exam, South Korea copied the [Chinese] test, but the result was the opposite. "
This is a mockery of South Korea`s failure to respond well.
"South Korea should learn the experience of China as soon as possible" and other messages.
China`s central television station (CTV) reported on the same day that Jilin Province`s Yanji Chaoyangchuan International Airport decided to step up prevention of flights from South Korea. Chaoyang Chuan International Airport also decided to set up a special channel to distinguish passengers entering South Korea from other passengers.
South korean media, somewhat overwhelmed, said the new virus, which took place in wuhan, china`s hubei province, is now attacking south korea, showing a raking attitude.
South korea`s government has also been criticized for delaying measures to ban chinese entry, and has even been mocked in china.
South korea`s daily korean daily also complained that during a surge in chinese new coronavirus, south korean government faced domestic public opinion that "chinese must be prevented from entering" and did not take measures to ban all chinese from entering the country.
China`s government said at the time that the country that closed its doors was taking "excessive measures."
But china`s local government immediately imposed de facto entry restrictions on south koreans following the increase in new coronavirus patients.
Flight 7C8501 of Jeju Airlines, departing from South Korea`s Incheon Airport, arrived at Dashui Park International Airport in Weihai City, China, at 10.30am on February 25.
At the airport,163 passengers were greeted by heavily armed quarantine officers who were quarantined in nearby hotels, including 19 koreans.
Weihai is one of the nearest Chinese cities to South Korea and is home to a large number of South Koreans, the Korean Daily warned.
Incheon also donated 20,000 masks to weihai on the 12th of this month.
The same source reported that the same day, the city of Shenyang in Liaoning Province and the city of Yanji in Jilin Province also carried out virus tests on the passengers of KEK831 flights and KE891 flights from Seoul, and transferred them to designated hotels or homes for 14 days of isolation.
Qingdao also said it would isolate all entry from abroad.
This is the first time that China`s government has imposed mandatory quarantine on all passengers arriving from foreign flights.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in raised the new coronavirus crisis alert to the highest level of the "severe" phase on February 23, directing that "before and after the collective infection of Xintiandi, the situation became very different." "
Although Moon is taking strong steps, South Koreans have been holding him accountable.
Until february 4th, south korean government banned only those entering china`s hubei province, despite domestic demand.
Ten days ago, the Korean Medical Association called for a "complete ban on entry from all parts of China ".
On february 18th south korea`s first unknown patient, the medical association said it would "urge once again the last chance to block china." "
But Moon has been blaming the media for expressing optimism until the number of diagnosed patients has soared and developed into a mass infection.
The virus has spread dramatically in South Korea over the past few days at the heart of the Church of the New World.
But on the afternoon of February 23 th,55% of 602 patients were diagnosed.
According to the Korean Daily newspaper, the new crown virus did not occur naturally among Protestants, but was introduced from the virus-ridden China.
In the early days of the situation, as long as south korean government complied with the basic anti-epidemic measures to prevent foreigners from entering china, there would be no infection in the church of daegu in xintiandi, and they would end up as victims.
South korea`s government doesn`t know why it didn`t adhere to the basics of stopping the flow of large numbers of sources of infection.
South koreans accused: just in south korea`s diagnosis of a hundred cases, the first death case 20 afternoon, south korean president wen yu-yin also spoke with chinese president xi jinping.
At the time, there were more than 730,000 contestants from qingwatai nationals who were required to ban chinese entry.
Moon, who has been responding positively to Xi Jinping`s "Community of Human Destiny," told Xi Jinping on the day`s phone call:" China`s difficulties are South Korea`s," and" South Korea`s government hopes that the COVID-19 response will add a boost to the efforts of neighboring China."
Critics say south korean government has been negative about a total ban on chinese tourists since the start of the new virus outbreak in wuhan, and has not been taken seriously since the beginning.
