Health Product Retailer is the Latest Cluster Infection Location in Seoul

This is going to be the new normal for a while of cluster infections popping up at indoor locations where people work or congregate:

A health product retailer is emerging as a new coronavirus cluster in the Seoul metropolitan area, officials said Friday.

The densely-populated area has been hit by a string of cluster infections originating from call centers, clubs, churches and warehouses.

According to quarantine authorities, the number of COVID-19 cases traced to the health product seller, called Richway, located in Seoul’s southwestern ward of Gwanak, increased by 19 from the previous day to 29 as of Friday noon. Eighteen of the 29 patients are from Seoul, with Gyeonggi, Incheon and South Chungcheong accounting for five, four and two, respectively.

The authorities are concerned, as most of Richway customers are in their 60s and 70s, who are known as the most vulnerable group for the coronavirus.
