On the 22nd, KBS announced that 19 people, including 16 children and 3 staff members, tested positive at the in-house daycare center located in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

Three KBS employees who are parents of children attending the daycare also tested positive.

KBS recommended that parent employees who tested negative work from home for one week starting that day.

The daycare has been temporarily closed since the 20th. After confirming that a daycare staff member tested positive for COVID-19, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests were conducted on all staff, children, and parents.

Additional test results for staff and children tested later will be available after the 23rd, so the number of confirmed cases may increase.
