[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] The government introduced the Ansim Band (electronic wristband) on the 27th to manage those who leave self-quarantine without permission, and so far, there have been no cases of wearing or refusal to wear it.

Park Jong-hyun, head of the Public Relations Management Team at the Government-wide Countermeasure Support Headquarters, said at a regular briefing held at the Government Complex Sejong on the 28th, "There have been no actual cases of wearing or refusing to wear the Ansim Band yet."

The target for wearing the Ansim Band is those who have left self-quarantine without permission among self-quarantined individuals occurring after midnight the previous day. Park said, "(Cases of wearing or refusal to wear) will probably appear after a few days."

The government distributed 1,970 Ansim Bands by city and province and introduced a new version of the 'Self-Quarantine Safety Protection App.' As a measure to strengthen self-quarantine management, a motion detection function was added to the safety management app.

If there is no movement detected on the mobile phone for a certain period, a notification window pops up through the app, and if the quarantined person does not confirm it, the responsible public official will call directly.
