[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] A confirmed case of COVID-19 has been reported at Samsung Display's Asan plant.

On the 25th, according to Samsung Display, an employee working in the A3 building at the Asan plant tested positive for COVID-19 in the afternoon.

Samsung Display explained that the A3 building houses both production lines and office spaces, but the employee is an office worker unrelated to production, so there is no disruption to the production schedule.
