The mayor of Seoul says at least 93 people linked to a call center based in the capital city have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

The case is at this point reportedly the largest outbreak in the Seoul Metropolitan Area and a probably most dangerous one not only for all involved people but also for those working and living in an area nearby call center building.

It spurred the Mayor to urge managers of other call centers to let employees work from home and stay in self-quarantine.

The city also wants all Internet cafes and karaoke bars to shut down temporarily during this hard and heartbreaking time for Koreans.
