[Breaking] 51,131 New COVID-19 Cases ... 417 Critically Ill, 49 Deaths

On the first day of outdoor mask mandate lifting, April 2, citizens are moving through the streets of Myeongdong, Seoul. The government judged that the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases, critically ill patients, and deaths are clearly decreasing, and the medical system is relatively stable, so from this day onward, the obligation to wear masks outdoors has been lifted. However, the obligation to wear masks remains in place for gatherings of 50 or more people, events, performances, and sports game viewings where crowd density is high and there is a risk of droplet spread due to shouting. / Photo by Moon Honam munonam@
