Recently, a policeman in Gumi passed away after his vaccination. He did not have an underlying disease. However, the quarantine authority and government did not give a clear answer about the compensation system. Assemblymen said about this situation that in the meantime, the government has said that it will fully compensate for the deaths caused by vaccination.
