The Korea Employees’ Settlement and Well-being Service on Monday stated a committee decided to award the worker, whose name was kept, settlement for a job-related accident.
The worker checked favorable on arrival at Incheon International Airport and was treated in medical facility here. “We judged that this employee was infected by a colleague or a customer in the U.S.,” the service included.
Anybody insured for commercial mishaps can look for settlement, and so far 75 patients in Korea, mostly health-service sector workers, have been awarded payment for contracting coronavirus in the course of their responsibilities.
Caregivers in nursing homes topped the list with 26 followed by nurses and nursing assistants (24), medical professionals (2), logistics storage facility staff (2), and one flight attendant.
Effective candidates are paid 70 percent of their typical wage while in healthcare facility.
