Self-Isolators Visit Mart and Hospital... "4 People Reported"

Beomdaebon: "4 out of 5 Self-Quarantine Violators Will Be Reported"

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Five cases of violations by COVID-19 self-quarantine individuals, such as going to large supermarkets or hospitals against guidelines, have been detected.

On the 30th, Hong Jongwan, Operations Team Leader of the Pan-Government Countermeasure Support Headquarters, stated at a regular briefing held at the Government Sejong Complex, "There were 5 self-quarantine violators on the 29th. Four of them are scheduled to be prosecuted." As of the 30th, the total number of self-quarantine individuals was 37,545, a decrease of 535 from the previous day.

Among the self-quarantine individuals on the previous day, one was caught after leaving their phone with the self-quarantine app installed at home and purchasing shoes at a large supermarket. Another self-quarantine individual was discovered during an unannounced government inspection while visiting a plastic surgery clinic. Additionally, there were cases of individuals caught by assigned officials while going to a hardware store or found during an unannounced inspection while attempting to visit a relative and an obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

There was also a self-quarantine individual who visited a public health center to report a broken phone. The government judged that this violation was unintentional and decided not to prosecute.

Meanwhile, there have been no cases so far of wearing the 'Ansim Band' (electronic wristband). The Ansim Band is intended for those who violate quarantine guidelines by leaving the quarantine location without permission or not answering confirmation calls. If a self-quarantine violator refuses to wear the Ansim Band, they may be placed in facility quarantine. The government has distributed a total of 1,970 Ansim Bands to local governments to manage unauthorized self-quarantine departures.
