[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The first case of cohort isolation targeting an apartment complex in South Korea has occurred in Daegu.
According to Daegu City on the 7th, the city sent a text message the day before to residents of rental apartments within the Daegu Comprehensive Welfare Center in Dalseo-gu, informing them of cohort isolation measures and restrictions on entry, delivery, and other activities following the confirmation of a COVID-19 case.
Residents reported hearing an apartment announcement saying, "Do not go to work. You will be quarantined until the 15th."
