Two Employees at Seoul Northern District Court Confirmed with COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The Seoul Northern District Court announced on the 20th that two civil application staff members tested positive for COVID-19.

According to the Northern District Court, these staff members worked in the same office and were tested for COVID-19 after experiencing symptoms such as body aches the previous day, receiving positive results on the day of the announcement. It was confirmed that the staff members consistently wore masks in the office.

The Northern District Court identified the movements of the confirmed cases and instructed employees who had overlapping routes to undergo testing, while all staff who had contact were ordered to stay at home. An epidemiological investigation was also requested from the local health center, and the court building underwent its own disinfection.

A representative from the Northern District Court stated, "We plan to closely cooperate with health authorities and promptly take any additional necessary measures."

Earlier this month, a judge and a registration office staff member at the Northern District Court were also confirmed positive for COVID-19. No connection has been confirmed between those cases and the staff members who tested positive this time.
