It is the first time in Korea that Corona 19 infection has been recognized as an industrial accident.
The Korea Labor Welfare Corporation explained, "As Mr. A considers that he is repeatedly exposed to the risk of infection such as splash due to the nature of his work in a dense space, he has determined that there is a significant causal relationship between work and disease."

If the leave is less than the minimum wage, the amount equivalent to the minimum wage is paid.
