[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Busan City announced that it has identified two individuals who violated self-quarantine measures for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and plans to report one of them to the police.


According to Busan City, Mr. A, a person in his 60s who was a contact of a confirmed case, was caught by a surprise inspection team on the 6th while visiting San-so during his self-quarantine period. Mr. B, in his 80s and also a contact of a confirmed case, was caught by the surprise inspection team on the 7th while going out for a hospital visit during his self-quarantine period.



Busan City plans to report Mr. A to the police on charges of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act. However, considering Mr. B's advanced age and the fact that he made a timing mistake just two hours before the end of his quarantine, he was given a guidance measure.
