"It is unfair to check whether an individual has been vaccinated without even conducting an epidemiological investigation of the confirmed person."
Today (11th), Kim (37), a housewife with three children in Daegu, said, "Despite the low credibility of vaccine efficacy and the large side effects, the quarantine pass based on whether or not vaccinated should be abolished."
As the government reviews a plan to cancel electronic access lists such as QR codes for access to multi-use facilities, voices calling for the abolition of the quarantine pass (inoculation completed and voice confirmation system) are growing.
Even though epidemiological investigations such as identifying the movement of confirmed patients have virtually disappeared due to the reorganization of the COVID-19 response system, it is still contradictory to check electronic access lists and quarantine passes for customers in front-line restaurants and cafes.
Although there is no epidemiological investigation, opinions have been raised from various places that the reason for checking the electronic access list and quarantine pass is not understandable.
Mo (36) Lee criticized, "Even if the confirmed person and the movement line overlap, the public health center says that they are not subject to quarantine."
At the front-line, expectations and concerns intersect.
“I think that if the quarantine pass disappears, the system may completely collapse,” said Kim, a medical worker.
Park Mo, a worker in the pharmaceutical industry, said, "I think it's okay to hold on to the quarantine pass like this," he said.
On the other hand, a local university hospital official said, "Now, I wonder what the quarantine pass will mean."
In Daegu, on the 24th of last month, an application for suspension of the quarantine pass was filed against Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin.
In the first argument held on the 9th, the plaintiff argued that there was no legal basis for the quarantine pass system, and argued for the abolition and relaxation of quarantine passes for restaurants and cafes.
Yoon Yong-jin, a lawyer in charge of the case, said, "The quarantine pass itself, including QR check-in, has no legal basis, and is highly likely to violate the Personal Information Protection Act. said.
He also explained, "In the case of youth, even if they contract COVID-19, they are forcing them to vaccinate, even though the probability of death or serious illness is low."
If the court decides to suspend execution, it is likely that the effectiveness of the quarantine pass will be suspended at most facilities in the Daegu area until a judgment on the merits is issued.
Meanwhile, Daegu City drew a line as a matter of following the guidelines from the central government level.
