[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has been reported at the Seoul Court Complex in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul.


According to the court on the 13th, court reporter A, belonging to the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul High Court (Ham Sanghoon, Kim Minki, Ha Taehan), tested positive for COVID-19 on the morning of the same day.


A is believed to have been infected by their spouse, who was confirmed positive earlier.



Chief Judge Ham and other staff members are not classified as close contacts and are therefore not subject to self-quarantine. However, as a preventive measure, the Seoul High Court had them stay at home the previous day. The Seoul High Court plans to carry out disinfection within the complex according to related guidelines.
