As a result of the 5th full investigation of 1,128 prisoners excluding the confirmed cases by the Seoul East Detention Center, 121 people were confirmed to be corona19.
Four additional prisoners were also confirmed at Gangwon North Prison, all of whom were transferred from the Eastern Detention Center to reduce the acceptance rate.

In addition, the cumulative number of confirmed cases related to the Eastern Detention Center, including employees, acquaintances, and family members, exceeded 1,000 units.

Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, who had been shutting his mouth so far, posted an apology on SNS for two days in a row after 35 days of the first confirmed case.
Minister Chu said that he repeatedly regretted the principle of accepting prisoners in close contact with the confirmed patient as’one person per room’.
In addition, he wrote that he would move non-confirmed prisoners to other correctional facilities to relieve the overcrowding of the Eastern Detention Center.
It was emphasized that the family members of the confirmed prisoners were explained by the staff in charge and that normal correspondence was also guaranteed.
An official from the Ministry of Justice also said that the transfer will be carried out sooner or later, and that details will be disclosed once the transfer is completed for security reasons.
He also said that he would analyze the results of the total investigation and consult with the quarantine authorities to review additional total investigations.
He added that the incubation period of the total survey subjects was increased to 3 weeks instead of 2 weeks and the progress was being monitored.
The Ministry of Justice belatedly apologized and made countermeasures, but every time the results of a full-scale investigation are confirmed, three-digit confirmation continues, and criticism of the procrastination is growing.
