A foreigner, who had been in a temporary residence for foreign immigrants for almost two weeks, dug a tunnel and fled about five hours before leaving.
The Accident Control Headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (Jung Soo-bon) announced on the 6th that “a man in his 20s, an Indonesian man, escaped from a quarantine facility in Jung-gu, Seoul around 7 pm on the 4th “.
According to Jungsubon, Mr. A, who entered the country on 21 last month, entered the facility after receiving a negative test for the new coronavirus infection. However, about 5 hours before 0:00 on the 5th, when the containment ends, he escaped from the facility.
Police and quarantine authorities estimate that Mr. A dug the floor of a flowerbed under a temporary wall about 10 cm thick temporarily installed outside the facility and escaped through the hole. A Jungsubon official said: “The indoor shoes and room keys I was wearing were placed near the tunnel that Mr. A appears to have sold.” Mr. A left most of the luggage he brought when entering the country and escaped with only part of his wallet and passport. According to an interview with Dong-A Ilbo, officials at the facility discovered that Mr. A had fled around 7:30 am on the 5th the next day. It is said that while searching for Mr. A’s discharge procedure, he found traces of a leak. The facility is reported to have no separate procedure for determining the resident’s location on a regular basis, and occupancy status has been reported to have been confirmed by handing out a lunch box or over the phone to confirm symptoms. An official from Jung Soo-bon said: “We plan to recognize the seriousness of this incident and improve the way we know where the residents are.” Quarantine authorities believe that the reason Mr. A escaped from the facility a few hours before leaving the facility is likely to be an illegal stay. An official from Jung Soo-bon said, “Mr. A was scheduled to board a ship in Busan and work after leaving Korea after receiving a visa for the crew on duty (C-3-11). I think it is.”
The Seoul Namdaemun Police Station is currently searching for the whereabouts of Mr. A. A police officer said, “We are analyzing the closed circuit television (CC) near the facility to understand A’s escape route.”
