Most of the confirmers of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries came from the 4th floor of the 5th building of the Sejong Government Complex.

Yesterday, there was one confirmed person on the 5th floor, and one employee who worked on the 4th floor until last week and greeted the office next door was confirmed.

This building is used by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance except for some spaces.

There is a growing concern that the collective infections from the Ministry of Oceans and Marines will spread to other ministries.

[Jung Eun-Kyung / Head of Disease Management Headquarters: (The reason for the rapid spread) Since government departments are not very large rooms, they are very large offices. .]

As the number of confirmed patients increased, the Office of Government Management began testing by installing a drive-through screening clinic in the parking lot near the sea water department.

The Ministry of Marine Affairs has completed the inspection of all employees and is waiting for the results, but it is still unknown where the infection started.

The aftermath of the Sejong Government Complex infection has even reached the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul.

It was confirmed that one of the confirmers of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries attended the National Assembly's general meeting of agricultural and sea level on the 5th.

The National Assembly's Safety Situation Office identified the traffic lines of the employees and carried out partial quarantine, and quarantined those who were in contact with the standing committee members and suspected contacts.
