1. Province files ￦130M lawsuit against Ansan COVID-19 patient
Two businesses join in as co-plaintiffs

The provincial government officially filed a lawsuit on July 9th against a confirmed patient of COVID-19 from Ansan City, Gyeonggi-do Province who, despite showing evident symptoms of the virus, took fever-reducing drugs while traveling around the island.

The amount of the litigation is 130 million won. This amount includes the cost for the disinfection of facilities and the operating losses for the establishments that were forced to close temporarily. Two of those businesses are also participating in the lawsuit as co-plaintiffs.

The patient was in Jeju for 3 nights and 4 days from June 15 while experiencing fever and cold symptoms and was tested positive for coronavirus in Seoul after the trip.

This is the second lawsuit of its kind that has been filed by the province. The first lawsuit was filed last March against tourists from the Gangnam district of Seoul.
