From now on, I will continue the Corona 19 news. Starting today (5th), the law changed, and even if I was ordered to stay home, I was punished for walking around. You can live up to one year in prison. In addition, there were cases in which people entered the country after eating antipyretic drugs and dropping them.

I am a reporter.

A couple in their 50s who lived in Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, was accused of police after going out without permission several times during the recent self-containment period.

It was found that they attended art museums, lottery rooms, and gimbap restaurants.

In the self-containment app, it was recorded as being at home, but it was confirmed that the car was going out through a black box.

During the self-isolation period, Guro-gu, Seoul, also reported to the police about two people who visited the car center or stopped by the company.

Starting today, the punishment for self-containment violations has been greatly strengthened in accordance with the revised Infectious Disease Prevention Act.

Persons who violate hospitalization or containment guidelines are subject to imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine not exceeding ten million won.

So far, police investigations have been conducted on 137 violators and 59 of them.

The quarantine authorities have also decided to violate the quarantine law if they make false statements during the quarantine process.

This is an example of passing an airport quarantine after eating antipyretic drugs.

The government said that self-isolation management has become important to prevent foreign influx of viruses, and the quarantine authorities and local governments have decided to maintain a 24-hour surveillance system and expand untimely inspections across the country.
