South Korean officials scrambled to contain a new coronavirus outbreak, tracing thousands of people who may have been infected in a cluster of cases linked to nightclubs and bars in the capital city of Seoul

That has raised complications for officials desperately trying to track those who might be infected in a nation where open homosexuality is often taboo and LGBTQ people still face discrimination, including job loss and hate speech. Health Ministry official Yoon Tae-ho acknowledged concerns that individuals within the LGBTQ community could be outed against their will or face discrimination if they came forward.
