The scale of the infection of the COVID-19 group at the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul is growing at a peak. As a result of the third full test, more than 200 prisoners tested positive and the number of confirmed cases exceeded 700. The Department of Justice is focused on determining the cause while preventing the spread of the infection. Reporter Kang Hee-kyung reports. After the first confirmed cases came out on the 27th of last month, the number of corona infections19 in the East Seoul Detention Center is increasing by the day. As a result of running the third full test on the prisoners, an additional 233 people tested positive. As a result, the number of confirmed patients at the East Detention Center in Seoul increased to 748. Only 721 prisoners were infected, 21 employees and 6 prisoners were included. The Ministry of Justice decided to quarantine asymptomatic and mild prisoners in the same group and then handle them intensively by dedicated medical staff, and take steps to admit them immediately to a dedicated hospital with the cooperation of the authorities of the quarantine for those with moderate symptoms. Among the already confirmed prisoners, 345 asymptomatic and mild prisoners were transferred to the second prison in the northern province of Gyeongsang, which was turned into a vital treatment center. In addition to spreading through employee confirmation, the Ministry of Justice believes that there is a high possibility that new inmates have arrived asymptomatic after the third Corona 19 pandemic. In particular, the fact that each building and all floors are connected to each building and all the amenities, such as sports facilities, are closely related to the interior of the facility. Furthermore, external appearances such as courts and prosecutors, high concentration of prisoners, and insufficient ventilation are believed to have increased the rate of spread. The Justice Ministry and quarantine authorities plan to focus on blocking the release of new prisoners to prevent them from happening again. Additionally, a joint investigation team was formed to precisely analyze the cause of the group’s occurrence and determine who is responsible for the rapid spread in correctional facilities. In this regard, the Ministry of Justice raised the need for a full inspection when the first prisoners are confirmed, but it was also explained that the Seoul Metropolitan Government and Songpa-gu said it would be better to make a decision based on future trends, saying that it didn’t mean much.
