South Korea said it will begin allowing limited numbers of spectators at sports games as it seeks to return to normal after months of strict social distancing rules to combat the coronavirus, according to AFP.

Social distancing rules were relaxed in early May and some professional sports — including baseball and soccer — started new seasons albeit behind closed doors.

“We will take phased measures including allowing spectators at sports events,” Health Minister Park Neung-hoo told reporters, without elaborating.
