Following the collective infection in Seoul’s eastern detention center, where more than 200 people were confirmed, there were also confirmed cases in the Seoul detention center.
He is a man who worked for eight days for non-payment of fines.
I tested it on the day of release on the 19th, and the next day it was tested positive.
The correctional authorities immediately identified more than 80 people in close contact and carried out an inspection, waiting for the results.
If even one additional person is confirmed, the entire Seoul detention center staff and prisoners will be thoroughly tested.
Former President Park Geun-hye was also housed in the Seoul detention center, but the space for men and women was separated, so it was not classified as a contact.
The court and the prosecution are also in a state of extreme tension due to the mass infection from detention centers.
The Court Administration Office immediately recommended the national courts to adjourn for three weeks until January 11th next year.
The metropolitan court has already advised the suspension of the suspension two weeks ago, and the winter holiday, which begins on the 28th, has been accelerated and the target has been expanded to courts nationwide.
In accordance with the adjournment recommendation, the trial date for the rest of the cases is mostly delayed unless urgent cases such as arrest-related, temporary injunction, or suspension of execution.
Even if an urgent case is held, the quarantine guidelines must be strictly observed, such as wearing masks for all persons entering the court.
The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office also issued an emergency order to the front-line prosecutors’ office to prevent the spread of Corona 19.
They ordered us to refrain from investigating arrests except for serious and violent crimes, and to refrain from arrests unless arrests are inevitable.
Wanted candidates who fail to pay a fine of 5 million won or less have to actively utilize the social service alternative system instead of arrest.
Inmates, suspects, and reference persons were also instructed to listen to the statement over the phone rather than calling in person to investigate.
The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office sent an official letter to the front-line prosecutors’ office and ordered them to work with’the highest sense of tension’.
Due to the nature of detention centers living in closed spaces, there is a high possibility that group infections will spread, and there are a lot of prisoners undergoing investigations or trials.
