Confused by Suspension of Quarantine Pass Effectiveness... Daegu City Considers 'Immediate Appeal'

Kwon Young-jin, Mayor of Daegu.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] On the 24th, Daegu City announced its intention to file an immediate appeal with the Ministry of Justice regarding the Daegu District Court's decision to suspend the effectiveness of the youth quarantine pass and the quarantine pass for restaurants and cafes for those under 60 years old.

On the 23rd, the court partially accepted the request to suspend the effectiveness of the youth (ages 12-18) quarantine pass and the quarantine pass for restaurants and cafes for those under 60, in response to a lawsuit filed by 309 people including Professor Jo Doo-hyung of Yeungnam University College of Medicine against Daegu City, seeking cancellation of the quarantine pass disposition and suspension of execution.

As a result of this decision, the effectiveness of the quarantine pass will be suspended until the 30th day from the date of the ruling on the 'cancellation of the quarantine pass disposition' lawsuit.

Daegu City is currently reviewing the option to file an immediate appeal with the Ministry of Justice, as the nationwide number of confirmed cases has exceeded 170,000 and local confirmed cases have surpassed 6,000, spreading at a frightening rate.

For Daegu City to file an immediate appeal, it must submit its appeal opinion to the Ministry of Justice within three days from the date of delivery of the decision document (February 23), and then submit the immediate appeal petition to the court within seven days (by March 2) under the direction of the Ministry of Justice.
