KORAIL sues for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act
– Mr. A is accused of eating food while removing his mask on the KTX train heading for Seoul from Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do at around 6 pm on the 28th of last month. Eating and drinking within KTX is a violation of the COVID-19 quarantine rules.
Mr. A, who got on board at Dongdaegu Station, sat down to eat and put it in his bag when he was stopped by the flight attendant.
At that time, while A was eating a hamburger with his mask off, he was protested by a passenger in the same car, saying, “It’s public transportation, isn’t it too much?” “What does it matter whether you eat here or not?” “Do you know who my dad is?” It is said to have done.
Mr. A eventually apologized to the passenger, but KORAIL filed a complaint after reporting that the case was a violation of the quarantine law.
