In the case of eating antipyretic drugs, passing the quarantine of the airport, and subsequently receiving corona19 confirmation, the quarantine authorities announced today (5th) that it is a 'working baekgye'.

He also emphasized the principle that if a person submits false documents during the quarantine investigation process, he may be sentenced to less than one year in prison or fined up to 10 million won.

Kwon Joon-wook, deputy general manager of the Central Defense Countermeasures Division, said at a regular briefing held at the Osong Center for Disease Control in Chungcheongbuk-do today (5th). "We will take steps to ensure that punishment is severely followed."

"It is a great danger for people who have come into contact with the aircraft before and after boarding, as well as after arrival, on the move, and during self-isolation," said Kwon. "It is an act that harms people with high fatality."

He said, "It is important to prevent this from happening again by making a punishment according to relevant laws and regulations." I hope that every single person and everybody who comes into Korea will be alert and never recur. " .

Kwon, the deputy general manager, repeatedly emphasized that "there are cases of false statements or non-compliance with quarantine regulations in the recent quarantine process."

"If you submit false documents during the quarantine investigation process, you may be punished by imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine of not more than 10 million won by violating the relevant quarantine laws," he said. "It is very important for our domestic partners and local communities."

Prior to this, it was confirmed that a teenager in the United States had taken a large amount of antipyretic drugs before entering the country and passed the quarantine station safely when leaving the United States and entering Korea.

The student had suspected symptoms of corona19, including fever and muscle soreness, on the 23rd of last month, but was found to have taken a flight to Korea the next day.

Due to taking antipyretic drugs, even when entering Incheon Airport, he passed through the quarantine station and moved to his home in Busan, and was confirmed in Busan the next day.

More than 20 passengers on the same plane were classified as late contacts.
