The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that there were 101 confirmed cases at 10 o’clock on the 12th as a result of a national infection related to a new type of coronavirus infection (corona19). The number of confirmed patients in Seoul was classified as 64. The Seoul metropolitan government received access records to 10,000 police mobile phone base stations that visited the entire Itaewon area where a crown 19 infection occurred. This includes much personal information of those who have not visited the club, which is controversial.

Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon said at the Corona 19 briefing on the morning of the 12th: “The total number of confirmed people in Itaewon is 101 at 10:00 on the 12th, and the number of confirmed people in Seoul is 64 people. ” “I was tested.”
Mayor Park said: “We secured the complete list of base station accesses yesterday through cooperation with the National Police Agency and telecommunications companies.” “A total of 1,905 people were in the vicinity of Itaewon during that period.” He also said: “We also obtained a list of 494 card users (in the club) from the card company and guided the prosecutor and self-containment measures.” The Seoul Metropolitan Government sent a text message to everyone on the list to guide the Crown Prosecutor 19 twice this morning and afternoon.
The data obtained by the Seoul city government when requesting the police is a list of people who have been in Itaewon for more than 30 minutes from midnight to 5 a.m. on the 24th of the last month to the 6th of the month. The “Yongin 66” patient known to have started the infection in the Itaewon area was screened for those accessing mobile operator base stations near five clubs. This includes personal information such as name, phone number, and address.
Controversy over a wide range of information gathering …

The reason the Seoul Metropolitan Government requested such an extensive list is because of concerns about secondary infections caused by Corona19. 3,112 of the 5517 list of insured club accesses have not been contacted so far. Therefore, it was considered important to quickly conduct a thorough investigation of all those who remained in this area.
Mayor Park said, “We believe the risk factor is high because the source of the infection is unclear and there are still many unspecified (near Itaewon).” “We are not concerned that the asymptomatic infection exceeds 36% and the transmission rate is very rapid. It is convincing.” To prevent the spread of the region as much as possible, rapid and comprehensive inspection is essential. ”
Meanwhile, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and each ward office took over access to the neighboring police base station in connection with confirmed crown 19 cases at the call center in Guro-gu, Seoul, and in the computer room in Dongdaemun-gu. In accordance with Article 76 (2) of the Infectious Diseases Prevention and Management Act, the Minister of Health and Welfare or the head of a collective agency may request the police to provide information on the location of suspected infectious diseases, and mobile operators cannot reject it without justifiable reason.
However, it has been controversial because it was unprecedented to collect a wide range of personal information in the Itaewon area for almost two weeks. This is because confidential personal information has been collected from passersby who have not visited the club or away from where the infection occurred.
Professor Seung-Ju Kim of the University of Korea Graduate School of Information Security said: “It is true that there are claims that it is not correct to collect confidential personal information in order to prevent infectious diseases among security experts at information like Europe. “There is an opinion that it is important, and there is a dispute between experts.” Furthermore, he said, “it is difficult to see only in terms of infringement of personal information.”
After anonymous testing, the test volume doubles … The crackdown on Itaewon’s entertainment venues continued

On the other hand, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, on the 11th of the previous day, after presenting the “Anonymous Test”, which allows you to receive the Corona 19 test for free simply by entering the phone number without name and address, the Corona 19 test amount doubled. There were 3,500 cases on Day 10, but 6,544 cases were recorded on Day 11, the day anonymous inspection was introduced.
Mayor Park said: “We believe anonymity testing has a great effect on conducting voluntary testing.” I’ll make it happen. ”
The Seoul Metropolitan Government also prepared additional measures to prevent human rights violations against visitors to the Itaewon club. In cooperation with human rights organizations, a “hotline” will be established to prevent human rights violations, such as exposure to identity caused by Corona 19. Through this, in case of human rights violations related to the Itaewon Club, the Seoul Civil Rights Commissioner will carry out an investigation and a plan to protect them in relation to the National Human Rights Commission.
The crackdown on entertainment facilities near Itaewon continues. In addition to entertainment establishments that have already mandated a ban on collective bargaining, an unannounced inspection of hunting weapons, etc., has also been launched, in which similar operations are carried out.
Mayor Park said, “Currently, it has been confirmed that more than 2,100 clubs, emotional taverns, living rooms and collatechs have been suspended.” Each neighborhood office and the police have begun joint repressions. ”
