Samsung’s Own Front‑Line in South Korea
Rumour mill turns out true – a solitary Covid‑19 case surfaced in Samsung’s phone factory in Gumi, South Korea. Quick on the uptake, the company locked down any employee who might have been in close contact with the infected worker and put them into strict self‑quarantine until it was safe to resume business.
With the world looking for more pep in its corporate boots, Samsung’s €23‑billion infusion is a reminder that tech mobs can also be real hero mobs.
