SEOUL, February 18
South Korea's new daily Covid cases topped 1,00,000 for the first time amid an Omicron outbreak, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said on Friday, though deaths have remained relatively low in the highly vaccinated country.
Authorities announced on Friday they would slightly ease curfew on businesses from 9 pm to 10 pm, but retain other measures such as a six-person cap on private gatherings, a seven-day quarantine for international arrivals, mask mandates in public spaces and vaccine passes for a range of businesses. The measures would be in place until at least March 13, officials said, after the March 9 presidential election. — Reuters
