An express bus company in Daejeon is controversial because the driver who tested positive for the corona virus continues to operate.
TJB reporter Kim Cheol-jin reports exclusively, saying that there was no one to take turns and had the passengers go out once more.

[Mr. A/Intercity bus driver: The passenger bus, which should be driven with respect for the safety and life of customers, does not properly prevent quarantine, and even though the driver and crew reported to the company that it was caught, no action was taken…

The company said that it was the manual to replace the article if symptoms suspected of Corona appeared, but when the reporter asked about Mr. A's case, he replied that he could not keep the manual because it was difficult to replace.
