🇰🇷 South Korea's new proposed bill does not make vaccinations and quarantine mandatory for residents in areas where viruses such as Covid-19 were detected.
Wastewater samples are to be collected at the facilities and transferred to labs where they are tested for disease-causing viruses like Covid-19, norovirus, or influenza.
A KDCA spokesperson also told AFP on April 26 there was"absolutely no basis" to the claim, saying the agency's wastewater inspection project"does not involve subjecting residents to forced vaccinations or quarantine." Commenting on the agency's protocol in the event disease-causing viruses are found in wastewater samples, the spokesperson said:"The presence of viruses in the water does not necessarily mean these viruses have yet infected the population, so in that event, we would have to conduct further tests to check for prevalence."
The KDCA testing was also"unrelated" to Kim's bill on wastewater testing, the spokesperson said, adding he wasn't even aware of the existence of this bill.
