Samsung said it would implement "all necessary measures" to prevent the spread of the virus.
The Gumi line, which was closed temporarily last month after an earlier case was discovered, makes Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy S20 premium phones, though its production accounts for a small portion of the company's entire smartphone output.
Meanwhile, LG Innotek which is a supplier of camera modules for Apple, suspended operations at one of its sites due to the virus.
