Minkyung Wook "Is There Legal Basis to Mandate Self-Quarantine for People Tested Negative for COVID-19?"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former lawmaker Min Kyung-wook responded to Yeonsu-gu, Incheon City, which reported him for unauthorized departure during self-quarantine, by challenging, "Provide the legal basis for ordering self-quarantine to someone who tested negative."
On the 1st, Min said on Facebook, "After lawyers searched extensively, the conclusion was that there is no authority anywhere to order self-quarantine for someone who has tested negative."
Earlier, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon City, reported former lawmaker Min for unauthorized departure during self-quarantine.
He questioned, "They say they will report me even though I voluntarily took tests twice and both were negative," adding, "Be honest, are you scared because I keep shouting election fraud?"

Min said, "When I called Health Center Chief Choi, who ordered me to self-quarantine, he said that the notice was mistakenly sent without knowing I was negative, and that day they even sent proof of my negative result again," and questioned, "Do you understand that the Yeonsu-gu Health Center, which notified me three times that I was COVID-negative, reported me for violating self-quarantine?"
