The police are considering a plan to investigate the case and apply for an arrest warrant after receiving hospital treatment.

Paju Police Station and health officials left Paju Hospital in the early morning of yesterday (18th) and re-admitted Mr. A in his 50s (No. 177, Pyeongtaek City) to Paju Hospital, who was arrested at a coffee shop in Sinchon, Seoul at around 1:15 am today. It is being treated.

Since Mr. A is undergoing re-hospital treatment, no investigation has been conducted on the motives for escaping.

However, Paju City Mayor Choi Jong-hwan appeared on a radio broadcast today and said, "When Mr. A was re-admitted, when the medical staff asked about his motive for escaping, he was making a little bit of unspoken comments such as'takes poison in Kim Chit-guk'." It may be intended to give.”

Mr. A left the hospital at around 0:18 a.m. yesterday.

Yesterday, at about 8 am, a hospital employee entered the ward where Mr. A was being quarantined for food and reported that Mr. A was not present.

Mr. A wore blue patient pants and a white sleeveless tee, and left the hospital room wearing white slippers.

In the space where nurses work, it is known that they crawled on the floor and moved to the door.

Afterwards, about 4:30 am, Mr. A, who traveled to Seoul by bus from Joori-eup, Paju, stayed at a coffee shop in Jongno-gu.

It was found that I was talking to an acquaintance on the phone at this coffee shop store around 9 am.

A, who left the store and took a taxi to a nearby religious facility, was found to have stayed here for a long time.

Afterwards, at around 11:10 pm, Mr. A, who took a bus from Jongno to Sinchon, visited a 24-hour Shinchon cafe, and was arrested at about 1:15 am today by the police who tracked the traffic line through CCTV.

It is reported that Mr. A insisted that he kept wearing a mask except when drinking a drink at a cafe.

I took my mobile phone and escaped, but it was found that I only used the free Wi-Fi after removing the SIM chip.

The police and health authorities plan to investigate the motives for escaping after treating Mr. A, who is re-admitted to Paju Hospital.

Today, the city of Pyeongtaek announced that it would sue A to the police for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.

A police official said, "After treatment, we will conduct an investigation in consultation with related institutions such as Pyeongtaek City," and said, "It is a matter to be judged after the investigation, but the matter is serious, so the application for an arrest warrant is promising."

The police placed four detectives belonging to the Paju Police Station where the traffic line with Mr. A overlapped at home.

Mr. A stayed at Sarangjeil Church from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the 9th and after worshiping, was infected and hospitalized in Paju Hospital on the 15th.
