On December 12 of last year, one employee who was working in the civil petition room was confirmed, but due to the nature of the work, there was no contact with the prisoner. The city of Suncheon has since conducted a corona diagnostic test on employees of Suncheon Prison, and all of them were negative. Since then, Suncheon Prison seemed to have no problem with the COVID-19 outbreak, but three prisoners tested positive in this rapid diagnosis test.

The correctional authorities are reported to have performed gene amplification (PCR) tests and quarantine measures on prisoners who tested positive. Unlike the rapid diagnostic test that results in 20 to 30 minutes, the PCR test result takes about a day. Although a positive response was shown in the rapid diagnostic test, it may be negative in the PCR test.

As of 9 a.m. on the day, 673 people in Seoul East Detention Center, 341 people in North Gyeongsang Province, 16 people in Gwangju prison, 16 people in Seoul Southern prison, 8 people in Yeongwol prison, 5 people in North Gangwon prison, 1 person in Seoul detention center, etc. Receiving and accepting

Corona 19 is also spreading to other correctional facilities as prisoners move frequently between correctional facilities in order to reduce the density of the eastern detention centers in Seoul where the outbreak has occurred. The correctional authorities are striving to reduce the number of confirmed cases while implementing the three-step measures to distance the correctional facilities, but the situation continues to occur.

Combining the prisoners and staff, the number of corona19 confirmed in correctional facilities nationwide reaches 1,205.
