For the first time in Korea, one of the first inmates in the corona was confirmed by the Gimcheon Youth Prison.

Unconvicted 60-year-old A had a fever and had a diagnostic test. Today (29 days) she was positive for Corona19.

Mr. A had no contact with the outside world except for visiting the Daegu District Court's Kim Cheon-jib on the 29th, eight days after entering 21st last month.

[Kimcheon City Public Health Center official: Because this person (confirmed person) entered (detention center) on January 21, when he was admitted, wouldn't this person be outside with (virus) when considering the incubation period?]

In the Gimcheon Youth Prison, 900 people lived, including 670 inmates and 230 employees, including prisoners under 19 years of age and unconvicted.

The prison is quarantining 20 people, including inmates and staff, who were in the same room as Mr. A and investigating the path of infection.

A prison officer working at the Daegu Prison also received a decision to confirm Corona19, and 40 prisoners were quarantined.

The guards had been suspicious since the 22nd and have been self-isolating.

Earlier on the 25th, a 20-year-old prison officer, Shincheonji, was confirmed at a second prison in northern Gyeongbuk.

Hundreds of correctional facilities are densely populated and there is a lot of contact between prisoners, which is a major outbreak.
