South Korea mulling making unvaccinated pay for COVID-19 treatment - Reports

Seoul, Nov 27 (UNI/Sputnik) South Korea is considering making unvaccinated citizens partially cover costs of their COVID-19 treatment, South Korean news agency Newsis reported on Saturday, citing a government source.
The initiative aims to increase the country's vaccination rate, which is currently at 79.4% for the entire population and 91.2% for adults. The recent spike in case, however, has convinced the authorities that it is not enough.
According to the source, the government will consider a corresponding bill as well as the people's reaction. After collecting the opinions, the parliament in December could edit the bill about the government's payments for coronavirus disease treatment.
