One employee at the Gwanghwamun government office in Seoul was tested at a local health center for coronavirus infection 19.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government Office said today (20th) "The employee recognized the fact that he visited a medical institution visited by a patient infected with Corona 19 in Jongno-gu and went to a health center in Jongno-gu and conducted the test."

It will take a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 48 hours for results to be available.

The Seoul government office said, "Individual notifications were sent to visitors suspected of having close contact with medical institutions visited by the sponsor, but this employee was not informed."

The medical institution is a mother's otolaryngology clinic in Jongno-gu, where a 75-year-old (born in 1945) male, who lived in Buam-dong, was confirmed yesterday.

Earlier, it was confirmed that the nursery of the Seoul Children's Daycare Center was visited and three of the Government Daycare Center were closed.

The inspector took a vacation for the last 10 days due to overseas travel and went back to work today to find that the checker and the line were overlapped.

The employee reportedly visited the otolaryngologist earlier this month, before the trip.

The Government Building Management Division has strengthened its defense efforts by urgently disinfecting the inside and outside of the office building.

We also advised employees of the office to wear masks and pay attention to personal hygiene.

However, I would like to observe the situation more when I pointed out that it is necessary to reinforce building access control by installing heat detectors.

Currently, there is no heat detector installed at the entrance of the government building.

An official from the Government Office Management Office said, "The heat detector is ready, but it is not yet installed because it can create unnecessary anxiety in the situation of shortage of related equipment on the market." Since last week, we have been strengthening our management by increasing the number of disinfections once a week. ”
