041320 South Korea #COVID19 Updates:

SK's Legislative Election early voting is currently underway. Their ingenuity SHINES.

Aggressive screening AT THE POLLING BOOTHS which means not only are they keeping everyone safe, but they are also using the election to FIND new cases.

>11 million have voted thus far (26.7% of the population) for just the early election (this also is an impressive indicator of their social capital).

Official gov't PSA vid goes into detail about their aggressive screening and sterilizing procedures.

PPE required to enter polling booths.

Masks
Sterilize hands (provided)
Disposable gloves (provided)

No-touch thermometers for fever checks at entrance with symptom screen.

If negative screen, maintain social distance during the entire voting process and workers will sterilize the booth afterwards.

If positive screen, you still get to vote in a separate area created in a more isolated location with extra sterilizing procedures to prevent you from exposing others waiting in line; followed by instructions for #COVID19 testing.

To show you how they really think of everything, they even tell you where you can take selfies for your SNS.

Asymptomatic people under quarantine were given separate times for voting from general public.

Those with mild symptoms staying in quarantine facilities were given their own polling booth at the facility.

Moderate to severe patients were allowed absentee ballots.

And to reiterate: this is for a legislative election, not a presidential election.
