(32 minutes later) | |
South Koreans are returning to work as well as shopping malls, parks, golf courses and some restaurants, as Seoul relaxes social distancing rules amid a continued downward trend in coronavirus cases. | |
A growing list of companies have ended or eased their work from home policies in recent weeks, though many continue to apply flexible working hours and limit travel and face-to-face meetings. Parks, mountains and golf courses were flooded with visitors over the weekend, while shopping malls and restaurants are slowly returning to normal. | |
South Korea’s ongoing recovery from the first major coronavirus outbreak outside China paints a stark contrast with many other countries, where metropolises remain sealed off and stay-at-home orders are in place. | |
Health authorities urged vigilance, warning that new clusters could still emerge at any time. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 13 new cases on Monday, a day after posting eight – the first single digit daily rise since the February 28 peak of 909. The death toll stands at 236, Reuters said. |
