◇ Anchor: If you look around, there are a lot of people who didn’t get the vaccine due to health problems. When these people have to go somewhere, only the PCR test is accepted, and within 48 hours, if that happens, they will have to do a PCR test almost every 2-3 days, but there’s a little bit of pain. I wondered if I could receive this so often. Are you okay?

◆ Kim Kyung-woo: Frequent PCR testing itself is not a problem, but as you said, there is pain, and if you have rhinitis in the process, bleeding may accompany it. Also, above all else, it costs time and effort, cost, etc., so it seems to be necessary to refrain from it unless absolutely necessary. There are many situations that can arise, and there is a thought that we need to receive several vaccines among the motivations for getting vaccinated, but there are factors that prevent us from getting the vaccine in balance, and there is an effect that slightly raises the motivation. I think that the quarantine pass can work in . First, because the intensity of application of the quarantine pass can change depending on the quarantine situation, it is necessary to agree on the fundamental purpose first, and participate even if it is a bit cumbersome, as you said. Efforts to sufficiently explain measures that the people understand and are reasonable to follow seem to be very important together.
