An outbreak of 102 coronavirus cases linked to nightclubs in South Korea has led to fears of backlash against the LGBT community.
Authorities are racing to contain a fresh wave of infections in Seoul, the country's capital, believed to be linked to the gay party district Itaewon.
Gay revellers are reportedly scared to be tested if a positive diagnosis contributes to their sexuality being revealed. Some are therefore giving false details, the BBC reports.
The Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) says that of 35 cases identified on Sunday, 29 are linked to nightclubs and bars in the area.
