More than 100 people were identified in the Seoul detention center where corona19 confirmed cases occurred.

According to the Ministry of Justice on the 16th, the Seoul Detention Center identified a total of 394 people in close contact with Mr. A who received confirmation of Corona 19 after an epidemiological investigation by the quarantine authorities the previous night.

Initially, the Ministry of Justice classified and arrested 277 people, including employees and prisoners, as contacts, but 117 were identified.

The detention center first conducted a corona19 sample test in its own screening clinic for about 50 quarantined employees.

As a result, all were judged negative.

Of the people who contacted Mr. A at the detention center, 301 detainees and 43 employees completed most of the sample tests that day and are waiting for the results.

Jo Ju-bin (24), the main culprit in the 'Dr. Bang' case, was also classified as a contact person, and was put on the test.

The first infected person, Mr. A, went to an acquaintance's wedding held in the province last weekend, and a friend who was accompanied by him was known to have been confirmed first.

Mr. A was confirmed on the night of the 14th.

It is said that Mr. A's friend visited a coin karaoke room in Changdong, Dobong-gu, Seoul before attending the wedding, and stayed at the same time as the 10th confirmed person in Dobong-gu.

In order to minimize contact with outsiders, the Seoul Detention Center temporarily suspended interviews for general and public affairs.

Also, in consultation with the Korean Bar Association, the interview with the lawyers was temporarily suspended.
