Conor Lennon is teaching English in the country.
A 26 year old Laois native is the latest midlands native to find himself in the middle of one of the hotbeds of the coronavirus outbreak.
Timahoe's Conor Lennon is living in South Korea teaching English in a kindergarten school for the last two years.
Conor is currently not working as all the schools have been closed in an attempt to keep children from being exposed to the disease.
They will not re-open until the 9th of March.
