<Reporter> An
additional confirmed case occurred today (21st) at the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul.
As a correctional official, Mr. A, who was negative during the total examination three days ago, had a fever, so he was reexamined yesterday and was confirmed as a result.
As a result, the number of confirmed patients at the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul has increased to 217.
The detention center is planning to conduct a full inspection again within this week for inmates and staff.
It was also found that one of the prisoners was confirmed confirmed in the Seoul detention center.
Mr. B was detained at the labor camp on the 12th for non-payment of fines and was released yesterday, but he was tested positive for corona yesterday.
The detention center has conducted Corona 19 tests on 85 employees and prisoners who have contacted Mr. B, and is waiting for the results.
Concerns about further infections from detention centers have increased, and emergency prosecutors and courts where prisoners travel to and from have also caught an emergency.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office sent an official letter to the National Prosecutors' Office, instructing them to refrain from investigating arrests or summons that require a face-to-face investigation and to investigate by phone.
The Court Administration also recommended the national courts to adjourn for three weeks starting tomorrow.
This is the third time this year, following last February and August.
However, urgent cases involving arrest, temporary injunction, or suspension of execution were excluded from the subject so that they can be interrogated while following the quarantine guidelines.
Accordingly, the interrogation on the suspension of execution of the suspension of the suspension of the prosecutor general Yoon Seok-yeol scheduled for tomorrow afternoon will proceed as scheduled.
