SKorea parliamentary polls proceed

SEOUL: Temperature checks on voters, separate booths for those with fevers, special polling stations for the quarantined — South Koreans headed to the polls Wednesday with a big turnout expected despite the coronavirus threat.

South Korea is the first country with a major virus outbreak to hold a national election since the global pandemic began, and a complex web of safety measures was spun around the ballot, as well as the campaigning that preceded it.
