[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Mokpo City plans to file a criminal complaint against COVID-19 self-quarantine violators who left their quarantine locations without permission.


According to the city on the 9th, a woman in her 20s, who was classified as a self-quarantine individual until the 12th after contact with the 43rd confirmed case on the 2nd, left her quarantine location late at night on the 9th.


The family reported this fact, and the city's COVID response team night shift worker visited the quarantine location to confirm the violation. The self-quarantined individual returned to the quarantine site after being away for about two hours.


The city decided to file a criminal complaint after comprehensively considering the violation circumstances, duration of absence, and intentionality.



A city official stated, “As the Lunar New Year holiday approaches, this is a time when we must not lower our guard against COVID-19,” adding, “We will respond with a zero-tolerance policy to violations for the safety of Mokpo.”
