In the case of correctional officials who will be in charge of managing the confirmed cases, the prison side decided to temporarily empty one of the 10 correctional apartment buildings and use it as a dedicated accommodation. The treatment of confirmed patients will be handled by existing medical staff and additionally supported doctors and nurses. However, the daily management was also a sign of anxiety because the correctional staff had no choice but to wear protective clothing.

I hope that the confirmed patients will be able to recover their health as soon as possible in Cheongsong and return to their original location.”

North Gyeongsangbuk-do 1st and 3rd prisons and vocational training prisons started as probation centers to accommodate prisoners of Samcheong Education University in 1981, and the second prison was newly established in 1993.
The 2nd Prison, located at the foot of Gwangdeoksan Mountain in Jinbo-myeon, Cheongsong-gun and the middle of it, is so strict that it is called a prison in the prison. Felony offenders or prisoners who are unable to adjust to life in prison are usually held here. It is known that more than 500 of the 850 rooms are solitary. This is the reason why the Seoul detention center was selected as a life treatment center for confirmed patients.
