A fine was imposed on a 30-year-old who violated self-isolation guidelines to meet his ill father.

The Cheongju District Law Criminal 1 Exclusive (Judge Nam-woo) said yesterday (1st) that a 33-year-old A, who was charged with violating the Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act, was fined 1.5 million won.

Mr. A, who was living in the United States, entered Korea at Incheon Airport on April 24, 2020, received a negative test for Corona 19 and entered self-quarantine for two weeks at a residence in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province.

However, on the 25th, the next day, at about 3:20 pm, Mr. A got into his car and left the self-isolation area for two hours. It was to go to a hospital in Cheongju to visit the hospital in Cheongju, which might be the last time after hearing the news that my father is in critical condition. 

A's father is known to have died a few days after meeting A.

The Sangdang Health Center of Cheongju City confirmed that Mr. A has left self-isolation after receiving a report from the hospital. A public health center official who accused Mr. A to the police said, "I am uncomfortable, but according to the regulations, I had to file a complaint."

The judge said, "The act of visiting the hospital during self-isolation by the defendant is not lightly guilty when considering the social risks, etc." "I have."
