[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Eight facility quarantine subjects who require facility protection among self-quarantined individuals due to the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia) will begin their first admission to the Talent Development Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Seoul City announced on the 10th that the first group of subjects was selected based on information gathered through health centers of the 25 autonomous districts.

The subjects include seven Chinese tourists and one Korean national, all currently under self-quarantine as close contacts of confirmed cases. The seven Chinese individuals were identified as having traveled domestically with the 23rd confirmed patient, and the one Korean national was deemed to require facility quarantine due to personal circumstances.

Facility admissions are not allowed to leave voluntarily for 14 days from the date of contact and are controlled within the quarantine facility rooms. Fever checks are conducted two to three times daily to monitor symptoms. If symptoms develop, the individual will be transferred by the managing health center before admission and undergo detailed testing such as specimen collection at a screening clinic.
