SEOUL - A downward trend in new coronavirus cases in South Korea raised hope on Tuesday that Asia’s biggest outbreak outside China may be slowing, but officials urged vigilance with new clusters of infections emerging in a call center and a dance class.
Yoon Tae-ho, director general for public health policy at the health ministry, urged businesses to do what they could to help stem the outbreak after the discovery of 64 new cases among call-centre workers and their relatives.“We need to pay attention to crowded workplaces including call centers. The cooperation of business owners is essential as they shouldn’t let employees come in if they show symptoms like fever.
Authorities are investigating in the cluster and say more infections are likely among the 200 people packed into the floor where the call-center is located. They are being tested.“We will urgently check companies where many people work in the same space like call centres,” Park said.
