National Human Rights Commission of Korea Annual Report 2021 that this case required an examination of whether the relevant issue is not in conflict with the intent of Article 6 of the Constitution and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, it made a recommendation in accordance with Paragraph 1, Article 25 of the NHRCK Act. The Commission found that, even considering the intent of the relevant laws and regulations not to grant health insurance eligibility status to people visiting Korea for travel or other temporary purposes, it is neither the intent of the relevant laws and regulations to take away the health insurance eligibility from a person who had entered Korea with a sojourn status that allowed for such eligibility and to treat them like temporary visitors just because his/her sojourn status was changed to G-1, nor is there any reasonable ground to do so. In addition, the G-1 sojourn status is granted to those who have a specific reason for such status. The presence of any of the specified reasons does not automatically lead to G-1 status; rather, the status is granted only to those approved by the Minister of Justice, and thus there is not much room for the status to be abused. Also, even though foreigners with a G-1 status cannot be locally provided policyholders, there is no reasonable ground to exclude them from becoming employerprovided policyholders or their dependents as there are no restrictions limiting them from doing so. C. ‌Recommendation regarding local governments’ administrative order for migrant workers to get tested for COVID-19 Concluding that it is a discrimination against foreigners for certain local governments to sort out migrant workers from the other population and have them get tested for COVID-19 by administrative order, the Commission on March 22 recommended that the Director of the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, mayors and governors of local governments establish and implement non-discriminatory quarantine policy based on the principles of human rights. As COVID-19 spread, particularly in workplaces with a high concentration of migrant workers, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters established a quarantine plan for foreign workers, based on which local governments issued administrative orders forcing migrant workers to get COVID-19 tests. Some local governments even issued an order that made negative COVID-19 test results mandatory for hiring migrant workers, causing disadvantages in employment based on COVID-19 infection. 42
