However, even though there was a confirmer, Kupang turned out to be hiding hundreds of people while hiding the fact. In addition, the principle of taking a break if you were sick did not apply to non-regular workers and daily workers. Whether the logistics center was a safe workplace or the safety guidelines for the health and safety of Coupang employees, the largest online shopping company in Korea, is a matter to be considered.

This was covered by reporter Jeong Ban-seok.
