[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Kwon Bong-seok, CEO of LG Electronics, reportedly sent a message to employees urging safety and health amid global concerns over the resurgence of COVID-19.

On the 9th, CEO Kwon stated in an email to employees, "COVID-19 is showing a resurgence trend due to the easing of lockdown measures in various countries," and added, "I would like to ask a few things for the safety and health of all employees."

He emphasized, "All business sites, including production, sales, service corporations, and logistics warehouses, must thoroughly implement and continuously monitor and inspect the COVID-19 response and prevention measures guided by headquarters."

He continued, "Due to the spread of local infections, employees and their families are asked to refrain from visiting facilities that cause closed, crowded, and close-contact situations." He also added, "Please strictly follow personal hygiene rules in daily life, such as wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining social distancing, which are the most basic infection prevention measures."

The reason CEO Kwon unusually sent a company-wide email urging COVID-19 prevention and management is interpreted as being due to signs of the virus spreading again following the resumption of economic activities not only in the United States and Europe but also in South Korea.
