[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] On the 8th, a colleague of confirmed COVID-19 patient A (29) from Yongin-si, Gyeonggi Province, was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus infection, leading the company to close its headquarters and switch to indefinite remote work.

An IT company located in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province, issued an urgent notice to all employees on the same day, instructing them to work from home.

A company official stated, "We have closed all three business sites in Bundang and the entire office in Seolleung, Gangnam, and have entered indefinite remote work."
