South Korea has reported more than 300 new coronavirus cases for a fifth straight day, as officials warned that stricter rules could be imposed if the trend continues to threaten the highly populated capital of Seoul and surrounding areas.
According to Reuters, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) reported 330 new daily coronavirus cases, a drop from 386 reported the day before, a level not seen since August.
Officials warned that unless the number of infections drops substantially, they may raise the level of social distancing regulations.
