South Korea has reported only a handful of cases in recent days, the majority of them in people arriving from overseas. Authorities have asked anyone who visited the clubs over the weekend to self isolate for 14 days and be tested. "Gay" and "Itaewon corona" were among the top trending terms on South Korea's Naver web search portal following the reports. Homosexuality is not illegal in South Korea, and there is growing public acceptance of LGBTQ relations. To battle the coronavirus outbreak, South Korea has embraced a high-tech approach to contact tracing, which can include accessing a patient's cell phone location data, CCTV footage, credit card statements, and other information.
