In a crisis situation of infectious diseases such as the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the’One Strike Out’ system will be introduced, in which even if a multi-use facility violates the quarantine rules once, the operation is suspended and administrative disposition is given for 10 days.
On the 26th, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) 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 of the following month. Revealed.
According to the Infectious Disease Prevention Act, the first violation is only a warning, but when the new enforcement regulations are implemented, a penalty of 10 days of suspension will be imposed. With the recent spread of Corona 19, the government made it possible for local governments to issue an administrative order to immediately impose collective bans on facilities that violate the quarantine regulations, but it was not legalized.
The disease administration said, “We have strengthened the 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 for the infectious disease ends’ to’within the maximum incubation period for the infectious disease until the day determined by the Commissioner of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’. This is to flexibly operate the isolation 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 receiving reports only for essential vaccinations set by the state. However, as a new infectious disease such as Corona 19 became prevalent and temporary vaccinations were implemented in response to the epidemic, the scope of reporting adverse reactions was expanded.
