Samsung says chip factory worker tests positive for virus
Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday that one of its chip factory workers in South Korea had tested positive for coronavirus, but the incident did not affect production.
"One of our employees at our Foundry fab in Giheung, Korea, has tested positive with COVID-19,” Samsung said in a statement, referring to the respiratory disease caused by the virus, Reuters reports.
"Those who had been in close contact with the employee are currently in self-isolation and the employee’s work area has been closed off for disinfection,” Samsung said, adding that cleanrooms remain in operation.
This is the first time a Samsung chip factory employee has tested positive for the virus, although several confirmed cases at the tech giant’s smartphone factory in South Korea’s southeastern city of Gumi resulted in a temporary suspension, Reuters noted.
