President asks public to stay home during Lunar New Year holidays
대통령, 설 연휴 동안 집에 머물기를 요청


By Ko Dong-hwan, Nam Hyun-woo

The Korean government will soon shift to a new response system to deal with the rapid spread of the Omicron variant.
한국 정부는 오미크론 변이의 급속도 확산에 대응하기 위해 곧 새로운 대응체계로 전환할 것이다.


President Moon Jae-in called for swift action Monday to fend off the highly-transmissible variant, according to health authorities, Monday.
월요일 보건 당국에 의하면 문재인 대통령은 이 전염성이 아주 높은 변이를 막기 위해 신속한 대응을 요청했다.


The President also asked the public to refrain from visiting their families and relatives during the Lunar New Year holidays, warning that Omicron has become the dominant COVID-19 strain in the country as of last week.
문 대통령은 또한 국민에게 설 연휴 동안 가족과 친척집 방문을 자제해 달라고 요청하며, 지난 주로 오미크론이 코로나19 우세종이 되었다고 경고했다.


Senior Presidential Secretary for Public Communication Park Soo-hyun quoted Moon as saying that the Omicron variant became the dominant strain and an explosive increase in confirmed cases could be possible.
박수현 청와대 국민소통수석은 문 대통령이 오미크론 변이가 우세종이 되었고 확진자 폭증이 가능하다고 말했다고 전달했다.


"President Moon demanded the government swiftly take responsive measures," Park said. "Also, he asked the public to join the government's efforts by getting vaccinated, wearing face masks and refraining from having gatherings during the upcoming Lunar New Year holidays," Park added.
박 국민소통수석은 "문 대통령은 정부가 대응 체계를 신속히 마련해야 한다"며 "또한 문 대통령은 국민께도 백신 접종 참여와 마스크 착용, 설 연휴 모임 자제로 정부의 노력에 동참해 주시기를 당부했다"고 덧붙였다.


This year's Lunar New Year holidays begins on Jan. 31 and lasts until Feb. 2.
올해 설 연휴는 1월 31일에 시작해 2월 2일까지 이어진다.


Moon made the remarks as the country saw a surge in Omicron variant infections.
문 대통령은 전국적으로 오미크론 변이 감염이 확산되자 이와 같은 언급을했다.


The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said Monday the Omicron variant accounted for 50.3 percent of all coronavirus infections detected in Korea as of last week.
질병관리청은 월요일 오미크론 변이가 지난 주 한국에서 검출된 모든 코로나 바이러스 감염의 50.3%를 차지한다고 전했다.
