South Korea is offering anonymous tests for coronavirus to those who visited gay dance clubs in Seoul.

The clubs have become the centre of a recent outbbreak there. More than 80 cases have been linked to a handful of venues in the Itaewon district, which is popular with the LGBTQ community.

More than 3,000 people who visited the clubs last weekend are yet to contact the authorities for testing. It’s thought that many visitors provided false names and contact details when entering the bars and clubs.

Homophobia remains widespread in South Korea.
