South Korea will further relax social distancing rules from May 6, allowing a phased reopening of businesses, as the nation has largely managed to bring the coronavirus outbreak under control, South Korean Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun announced.
According to Reuters, widespread testing, intensive contact tracing and tracking apps have enabled South Korea to limit the spread of the virus rather than rely on the lengthy lockdowns seen elsewhere.
The new guidelines from the government advise everyone to stay home for three to four days if they feel unwell, stay arms-apart with others in public spaces, and wash hands frequently.
