[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Future United Party lawmaker Min Kyung-wook was reported to the police for unauthorized departure during self-quarantine.

Yeonsu-gu, Incheon City, announced on the 1st that it reported former lawmaker Min to the police on charges of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act. It was reported that Min was absent when the public official in charge of self-quarantine visited his home on the 22nd of last month.

In response, Min wrote on his Facebook post, "Violation of self-quarantine? Show me the legal basis for ordering self-quarantine for someone who tested negative," adding, "After lawyers searched extensively, the conclusion was that there is no authority anywhere to order self-quarantine for a person who has tested negative."

He continued, "You want to report me who voluntarily took tests twice and received negative results both times? Be honest. Are you scared because I keep shouting election fraud?"

Earlier, Min was classified as a contact related to Sarang Jeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, where a COVID-19 cluster infection occurred, and was notified of self-quarantine by health authorities.

The Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act stipulates that violators of self-quarantine guidelines may face imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to 10 million won.
