The government is urging Koreans to refrain from going to clubs, karaoke bars, and room salons.

According to a report by Newsis, Korea has seen an explosion of Coronavirus cases after a worker at an entertainment establishment in Gangnam tested positive for the virus.

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Gangnam-gu district, a 36 yr old woman 'A', who works in a large entertainment establishment in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam was confirmed positive with Corona becoming the 44th confirmed person in the city. 'A' worked at a Gangnam nightlife establishment for about 9 hours from April 27-28 and its estimated at least 500 people including guests and employees visited the establishment the same day that she worked there.

'A' is believed to have been infected after coming into contact with a confirmed patient in Seocho-gu.  'A's roommate (33) has now been confirmed with Coronavirus.

Officials believe the group infections are due to the nature of entertainment establishments as customers and employees are frequently in close contact in closed spaces.

In the meantime, Supernova's Yoon Hak has also been confirmed with the Coronavirus and reportedly came into contact with a pr*stitute who also worked at a room salon in Gangnam.

1. [+3,087, -36] People were told not to go to clubs and room salons so many times but it's finally happened. If you want to die, do it on your own . Don't infect others in the process ...ㅉ
2. [+2,901, -35] Why not just say it that the 37 yr old male B confirmed in Seocho-gu is supernova's Yoon Hak. He's already making headlines in entertainment articles.
3. [+2,002, -38] Reveal the identities of everyone that went there and fine them 10 million won or 1 year in prison.
4. [+102, -1] They're all trash. I hope they all die. They're nothing but cancer to society. Do they think we listened to the government because we have nothing else to do? We don't want to infect others so of course we're staying home. Don't make doctors and nurses work harder than they already are and just die on your own..
5. [+77, -5] Fine them. The government said multiple times not to gather in groups like this.
6. [+72, -3] Most of them are in their 30s right?? Those thugs from Nth Room were in their 30s too. They must be working hard right now to make sure their personal information doesn't leakㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+59, -1] I can't believe people are flocking to room salons at a time like this...embarrassingㅋㅋㅋ
