<Anchor> There
was a case where an incumbent police officer attended a golf meeting after undergoing a corona test in a situation where there was concern about the 4th coronavirus pandemic, and was confirmed the next day.
The police are reviewing the discipline.
Reporter Sungil Choi's report.
<Reporter> This
is the district under the jurisdiction of the Dongbu Police Station in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.
On the 31st of last month, one police officer working here was infected with Corona 19.
All of the district police officers working with this job were tested, and Inspector A was further confirmed.
However, an epidemiological investigation revealed that Inspector A did not comply with the internal quarantine guidelines.
The police ordered self-isolation to all of the employees who had undergone diagnostic tests in preparation for possible further infections, and Inspector A violated this and had a golf meeting with his acquaintances.
[Police in charge of Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency: Since the district police officer was confirmed, all members of the district were instructed to conduct a diagnostic test and self-isolate.] It
is reported that Inspector A had no symptoms at the time of the examination and explained that he attended a golf meeting that was promised in advance. .
Inspector A, as well as his wife and daughter, were tested positive.
The quarantine authorities say that Inspector A is not classified as a close contact, so it is not subject to self-isolation, and it is difficult to apply charges for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.
[Suwon City Hall employee: A co-worker came out (confirmed), so he went to a temporary screening station and got an inspection.
(Because it is a preemptive prosecutor), it is impossible to issue an administrative order to self-isolate.]
However, with the possibility of corona 19 4th re-proliferation rising to the bottom, a police officer who should take the lead in complying with the quarantine rules played golf by violating the internal self-isolation guidelines. Seems difficult to avoid criticism.
As soon as the treatment for Inspector A is finished, the police will conduct an inspection and then impose severe disciplinary action.
