[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Ju-hyung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 16th that two COVID-19 cases were confirmed in connection with 'The Hyundai Seoul' located in Yeongdeungpo-gu. Seoul plans to implement measures to reduce crowd density without imposing closure orders.

Park Yumi, the quarantine control officer of the Seoul Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, said in an online briefing that morning, "Since the opening of The Hyundai Seoul in Yeongdeungpo-gu, many people have gathered and two confirmed cases have been reported. We are responding by implementing measures to ease visitor crowd density and strengthening on-site inspections to ensure compliance with quarantine rules together with Yeongdeungpo-gu."

Regarding the reason for not ordering the closure of The Hyundai Seoul, she explained, "Considering compliance with quarantine rules and the scale of close-contact employees in case of confirmed cases, we judged that the risk of spread is not significant enough to warrant a full closure."
