Police are investigating suspects suspected of intimidating President Moon Jae-in against a public health center and a nurse in charge who received the Corona 19 vaccine.
The Seoul Jongno Police Department said today (25th), "We have launched an internal investigation to confirm the facts," and said, "If illegal activities such as threats are confirmed, we will strict judicial action."
A police official said, "Continuing controversy over vaccines is not desirable for quarantine, so we will respond firmly."
On the 23rd, President Moon's couple received the AstraZeneca vaccine at the Jongno-gu Health Center.
On the day of the presidential vaccination, a post was posted in some online communities stating,'I took out an injection with an open syringe and went behind the partition, and then a syringe with the cap closed' was posted and spread through social media.
According to Jongno-gu, dozens of threatening calls were poured out to public health centers and nurses in charge from the morning of the next day, the 24th.
It has been reported that the contents include'I will set a fire','I will detonate it','I know that (the government's explanation) is a lie, so reveal the facts'.
The quarantine authorities explained that it was a common-sense action to prevent needle contamination, but those who believed there was a'syringe change' called the health center.
A Jongno-gu official said, "For protection, the nurse was excluded from work, and we plan to take steps to take a break."
In fact, the police have taken measures to protect the privacy of nurses and others.
Meanwhile, the National Police Agency, which received an investigation from the Central Defense Response Headquarters of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, designated the Daegu Police Agency as the responsible office, and the Daegu Police Agency initiated the investigation of false postings.
