Later this month, South Korea will no longer require face masks in most interior public spaces, according to Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. However, they will still be necessary at medical institutions and on public transportation.
The country’s most recent move to relax COVID-19 guidelines as new cases appear to be slowing down may result in the relaxation of the face-covering regulations taking effect on January 30, according to Han.
The daily rate of new infections is continuing to drop, and the situation here is under control and trouble-free, the prime minister stated at a COVID response meeting, amid worries about a rise in cases in China.
After Beijing abruptly changed its policies and abandoned a tight antiviral regime of mass lockdowns, South Korea has required COVID tests for tourists entering from China.
