Coupang Bucheon Fresh Logistics Center, where a total of 152 COVID-19 infections, including 84 employees, occurred.

Mr. Jeon, who had worked as a contract worker from May 12th, continued to work on the 23rd of the same month without hearing that the first confirmed case occurred, and was confirmed three days later.

Jeon filed an industrial accident claim, saying that Coupang's quarantine measures to prevent employee infection were insufficient. Recently, the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation accepted Mr. Jeon's claim.

[Former Mo/Former Coupang employee: Hundreds of people can't even ventilate in one space, and all worktop PCs, winter clothes, and safety shoes are shared for use. It was said that disinfection or quarantine was done, but I had never seen it during our work.]

Until now, 69 people infected with corona, including medical staff, were recognized as industrial accidents due to their work relevance. Will.

Jeon has been infected with her daughter and husband, but her husband, whose illness worsened, suffered brain damage due to cardiac arrest and has remained unconscious until now.

However, the workers' compensation insurance benefits are only about medical expenses or leave of work.

In addition to filing for industrial accidents, Jeon also filed a lawsuit for damages against Coupang on the 7th.

It means that they have violated their obligations to take minimum safety measures, such as letting them use winter clothes and safety shoes for common use and not immediately notifying that a confirmed case has occurred.

Coupang's position is that they are also victims of infection from Itaewon, and the results of the lawsuit are expected to affect the response of infected people at other workplaces.
