In the future, in a crisis situation of infectious diseases such as the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), even if a multi-use facility violates the quarantine rules once, it is expected to be subject to administrative disposition of ’10 days of suspension of operation’.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) announced on the 26th that it announced the legislation of the enforcement regulations of the’Act on the Prevention and Management of Infectious Diseases’, which reinforce administrative dispositions for facilities and places that violate the quarantine guidelines, such as wearing masks, and collect opinions by the 16th next month .
According to the Infectious Disease Prevention Act, the first violation is only given a’warning’ now, but when the new enforcement regulations are implemented, the first violation will be punished for ’10 days of suspension of operation’.
In the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the government has allowed local governments to issue an administrative order to immediately impose collective bans on facilities that violate the quarantine regulations, but it has not been legalized.
The Agency for Disease Control and Prevention said, “We have reinforced detailed standards for administrative disposition for the purpose of applying the’One Strike Out System’, and through this, we will enhance the ability to comply with quarantine.”
The Agency for Disease Control and Prevention also partially revised the enforcement ordinance of the Infectious Disease Prevention Act to flexibly operate the quarantine period and expand the scope of reporting adverse reactions after vaccination.
The quarantine period was changed from’the day when the maximum incubation period of the infectious disease ends’ to’within the maximum incubation period of the infectious disease until the day determined by the Commissioner of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’. This is a measure to flexibly operate the quarantine period in consideration of cases where antibodies are formed by vaccination.
Temporary vaccination was added to the scope of reporting adverse vaccine reactions.
The government has been reporting only on mandatory vaccinations set by the state, but as a new infectious disease such as Corona 19 is outbreak and provisional vaccination is implemented in response, the scope of reporting adverse reactions has been expanded.
