An official at SK Hynix said today (20th) that even if some routes are overlapped, they were added to containment unconditionally. "We decided to respond proactively and broadly than government standards."

Yesterday, SK hynix and its new employees returned home to 280 trainees who had been educated at the Gyeonggi Icheon Campus Training Center (SKHU) and closed the training center.

According to the company, suspected patients were positive on the first test and are currently undergoing a second test.

SK hynix has 15,000 employees working at Icheon Campus, the company said.
