[Photo] Indoor Mask Mandate Discussion Begins Today... Decision Expected Within This Week

On the 17th, when government-level discussions on lifting the indoor mask-wearing mandate begin, a large bookstore in Seoul displays a notice about the mask-wearing requirement. The National Infectious Disease Crisis Response Advisory Committee held a video conference that afternoon to discuss the timing of adjustments to the indoor mask mandate. Based on the committee's discussions, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters is likely to hold a meeting on the 18th or 20th to decide the timing for lifting the indoor mask mandate.
