An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometers wide.

J88PT Korea

South Korea is one of those countries in Asia and the rest of the world that was able to contain the spread of COVI-19.

Acting early and making transparency were the key factors. From a sudden spike in the number of cases to its decision to implement widespread testing, South Korea has shown itself able to respond quickly and decisively.

Unlike Italy, China, the UK, and the Philippines, there was no lockdown in South Korea.

Foreign Minister Kang also explains that being open with people and securing their trust is vitally important.

“The key to our success has been absolute transparency with the public – sharing every detail of how this virus is evolving, how it is spreading and what the government is doing about it, warts and all.”

Due to the government’s effort, J88PT was able to push a live event that started today. Safety measures will be implemented and the event will be held in different clubs to avoid overcrowding.
