Most of 51 New Soouth Korea Cases Linked to Door Sales

South Korea today reported 51 new cases of COVID-19, mostly in the densely
populated capital region, as authorities scramble to stem transmissions among
low-income workers who can't afford to stay home.

The figures announced by South Korea's Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention brought national totals to 11,719 workers and 273 deaths.

At least 34 of the new cases were linked to door-to-door sellers hired by
Richway, a Seoul-based health product provider.

Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip said the spread of the virus among Richway
sellers was particularly alarming as most of them are in their 60s and 70s.
He called for officials to strengthen their efforts to find and examine
workplaces vulnerable to infections.
