Therefore, we considered it proper to impose quarantine during this period based on calculation made by the scholars and researchers. The Lunar New Year celebration can cause high risk to the health of our elders. Therefore, we are calling upon citizens to virtually celebrate the Lunar New Year and greet each other through online. The Government and the SEC are developing strategy to combat the pandemic. In doing so, we are aiming to make the economic activities normal, revive the economy and ensure health safety .
