WeWork Korea has modified floor layouts of its offices as part of efforts to prevent COVID-19 infection, the company said Thursday.

It has also installed more digital signage devices to notify members of the maximum number of people allowed in meeting rooms and to show the walking direction of one-way paths in hallways, it added.

These are follow-up preventative measures taken since earlier this year as the company has been measuring body temperature across all locations along with a wide range of precautionary measures.

In April, new WeWork Korea general manger Patricia Chun joined the co-working space firm. 

“Ever since the first launch in Korea in 2016 with WeWork Gangnam Station, Korea has been a strategic market for WeWork to enable enterprises, startups and companies of all sizes to accelerate their growth in the country and beyond,” Chun said. 

“We remain firm to continue our business in Korea to provide our unique, safe space and service, by prioritizing our members here in this country.”

The company opened WeWork Sinnonhyeon last month, expanding its footprint across the Gangnam area amid the pandemic.
