[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] It has been confirmed that 19 employees of a call center located in the Korea Building in Guro-gu, Seoul, where the largest cluster infection of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the metropolitan area occurred, worked for about a week at a call center in Yeongdeungpo-gu.

According to Yeongdeungpo-gu on the 12th, 19 employees who worked on the 7th floor of the Korea Building worked at a call center located in Yeongdeungpo starting from the 5th. This cluster infection occurred at the call center on the 11th floor.

The district confirmed this fact on the 11th and closed the 3rd floor of the building where the Yeongdeungpo call center is located. In addition, all 19 people underwent COVID-19 testing and were placed under self-quarantine. Among them, 13 tested negative, and 6 are currently awaiting test results. The district plans to decide whether to close the entire building while monitoring the situation.

The call centers on the 11th floor and the 7th to 9th floors of the Korea Building are operated by a company called Metanet Mplatform under outsourcing. The first confirmed case occurred on the 11th floor call center on the 9th. The Korea Building operates elevators divided between odd and even floors, so there is a possibility that contact occurred between employees on the 7th floor and the confirmed case on the 11th floor.
