South Korea announced on Friday that it will lift most COVID-19 restrictions starting next week.
The Asian country will drop the curfew on indoor and outdoor places, following the noticeable decrease in COVID-19 cases.
COVID-19 infections are decreasing in South Korea, with the virus at 40% of its peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker released on Friday.
The average number of deaths reported each day in South Korea falls by more than 93 over the last 3 weeks, 26% of its previous peak, according to the same source.
“But still, mask-wearing is an important means for more protection,” the country’s Prime Minister Kim Boo-Kyum said in response during a meeting, reported Reuters.
“It is inevitable to maintain the indoor mask mandate for a considerable period of time,” he added, according to the same source.
