Yes, is there a concern that the outbreak from the eastern detention center could spread to other facilities?

If it is.

On the 23rd, 17 people were confirmed who were transferred from this eastern detention center to other prisons.

There are about 170 prisoners who were transferred after being judged negatively during the first and second full test.

Among them, 16 people were confirmed who went to the South Seoul Prison and one who went to the North Gangwon Prison.

The Ministry of Justice explained that there were no more confirmed cases other than those transferred to the detention center in the prison, and the transferors were separated and handled in a separate space.

The confirmed cases from the Eastern Detention Center were also confirmed to be present in court in the middle of the month.

There are 1 in the Seoul Central District Court, 70 in the Seoul North District Court and 11 in the Seoul East District Court.

Each court quarantines the entire court and performs diagnostic tests on judges and employees classified as contacts.

Meanwhile, the cumulative number of confirmed cases related to the eastern detention center rose to 792.

It has 750 prisoners, 21 employees and 21 relatives and acquaintances.

About 1 in 3 prisoners were confirmed.

Epidemiological investigations revealed that the eastern detention center had a typical “three million” structure.

In the apartment-like structure, ventilation was poor and it was difficult to separate and accommodate confirmed patients.

The detention center, which has a capacity of 2,000 people, actually housed 2,400 people, and there was also overcrowding.

Reporters were caught on camera of some detainees waving towels out the window of the detention center or reporting the internal situation that more than 8 people were in a room.

Yesterday there was also a death.

After confirmation of a man in his 60s was confirmed, he was released from prison on the 24th and received quarantine treatment at the Life Therapy Center.

The Justice Ministry said the man was a person with an underlying medical condition who had been receiving hemodialysis.

The detention center is preparing for the fourth full-scale examination of previously negative detainees.

A total of 1,840 employees and detainees are covered.

Health authorities plan to designate Dongbu’s own detention center as a vital treatment center and manage it as confirmed cases continue to appear among inmates.
