The Ministry of Justice said on the 20th, “There is a fact that the former President Park has been in close contact with the corona19 confirmed employee.”
The Ministry of Justice said, “Former President Park will conduct a PCR (gene amplification) test this morning.” He said, “We are going to be hospitalized in a dedicated hospital where a negative pressure room is installed after consultation.”
This time, it is reported that the corona confirmed employee was confirmed as a result of a full-scale inspection conducted on the 18th to 19th. Former President Park and the staff were negative in the PCR test on the 12th.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong, who was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for bribery charges, and was detained, was negative in the Corona 19 test he received after being imprisoned in a Seoul detention center. Vice-Chairman Lee was judged negative, but was quarantined in his own living room according to the corona 19 response guidelines of the correctional facility.
The correctional authorities require a new prisoner to undergo a rapid antigen test when admitted, and, even if negative, are quarantined for 3 weeks considering the incubation period. Subsequently, a secondary gene amplification (PCR) test is conducted and quarantine is lifted when a negative test is found.
