Another Vietnamese citizen has broken self-quarantine rules just a few days after the government decided to deport three Vietnamese students for violating the regulations.
According to the North Jeolla provincial government and police Wednesday, the Vietnamese man, 21, who was ordered to isolate himself at his residence in Jeonju, has disappeared.
After reporting the case to the city's immigration office, police are now looking for him.
The man, who entered Korea on April 9, left his mobile phone at the residence in an apparent attempt to avoid GPS tracking by health officials, an official said.
"He turned on the self-quarantine app at around 11:25 a.m. on April 21 before disappearing," the official told News1, a local news agency. "After losing contact with him, we visited his place with police and realized he was gone."
Three Vietnamese students who arrived in Korea between March 28 and April 1 were ordered to leave the country after visiting a park in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province, in violation of the 14-day self-isolation rules.
