Here’s a list of useful links I’ve found for information on dealing with the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in South Korea. I hope to keep this updated. Some links are in Korean, so it’s best if you add a translation extension such as Google Translate to your browser.
If you have more useful links, please mention them in the comments!

Medical
Corona 19 Screening Clinic and Relief Hospital (Korean)
Full, searchable list from the KCDC.
Government
Emergency Ready App
Korean government app that provides emergency alerts in English.
Itaewon Global Village Center
Doing a heroic job of translating government alerts.
Korean Centers for Disease Control Coronavirus-19 page
Korean-only (for useful info, anyway), but with links to daily briefings in English and possibly with more coming.
KCDC latest stats
Updated twice daily, at 10 am and 6 pm, as far as I know. (So you don’t sit there hitting Refresh all day.)
KCDC FAQ (Korean)
Helpful if you can translate it.
Korea Immigration
You should know this one if you’re a foreigner living here, but they have press releases on issues like the visa extension due to the coronavirus.
World Health Organization Coronavirus website
Generally straightforward information from the global organization.
News
Korea Herald Coronavirus Page
Detailed coverage with a map, global stats, and more, in English.
Yonhap News English
Lots of news outlets in Korea, but everyone seems to copy from Yonhap. They seem mainstream and legit, without any obvious partisan bias.
Arirang News
For those who like their English-language Korea news televised.
New York Times Coronavirus
The Gray Lady has been providing clear, detailed coverage, with reporters on the ground in a lot of places. Scroll down for their feed of the latest updates.

Tip: Run a browser search for your relevant country.
Maps
Corona Map (Korean)
Popular local map that lets you zoom in and get pretty granular.
Johns Hopkins global map
Fear-inducing UX design, but a quality global map.
Statistics
wuhanvirus.kr
A poorly named site with a ton of statistics. I haven’t checked the sources, but it seems solid.

Good stats and news feed, available in English.
