Samsung Electronics, the world’s top smartphone maker, said the floor where the infected employee worked would be shut down until the morning of Feb. 25. Samsung’s factory in Gumi accounts for a small portion of its total smartphone production, and it makes high-end phones, mostly for the domestic market. Samsung produces most of its smartphones in Vietnam and India.

I would be surprised if there was none reported. Don't forget to mention SK's test capability for more than 13,000 ppl per day, transparent and swift info sharing with the public, which is a rare quality in this region. The source of super spreading event is cult, Shincheonji

Why the church picture Reuters.

The picture is for a church and your news about Samsung electronics!!!

There has been no official statement whether covid-19 can live like a bacterial tuber colouse, if so, then the epidemic can spread throughout the country without exception.

Is their phone factory a church?

Could the CoronaVirus be the Dems saving grace as its impact on the global & US economy heightens ?

But that looks like a church

let's start to make our own phones

Ignore this. The new cases have started to drop in china. Everyone is returning to work in two weeks. It's going to be just like it was. [sarcasm]

apple factory first now Samsung ..virus can survive on environmental surfaces indoors for 16+ days ...so many phones shipped could be contaminated good to know if you have bought a phone in the last 2 months

HarmlessYardDog That's a church

Random pic of a church though.

Hope it gets contained. The factory picture though...in a church?

They make phones at churches in South Korea?

Bye Samsung. Bye 👋👋😘

Not good

I wouldn’t be surprised if the North Koreans are sending sick people over there. If I was a ruthless dictator I would.

Oh no!!! 😔

Wow! That stock will tank on Monday. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1348 England?

Uh oh!

Jesus! This is bad.

Oo

Would you buy their phone?

Samsung tried to take advantage of iPhone's supply chain disruption, to their own detriment.

Moon administration is totally lunatic, insane, incompetence. The main factor of the failure in preventive measures against COVID_19 is President Moon himself.

does that mean the virus can either be pass on to any samsung phone device then to the end consumer buying those phone?

Here they come, the infected cells ...

Prevention is needed.
