South Korea has unveiled a three-phase strategy to get back to normal from the coronavirus with all limits on gatherings and distancing gone by February after it achieved a goal of vaccinating 70 per cent of its people on the weekend, according to Reuters.

In the first phase of the plan, all operating-hour curbs on restaurants, cafes and other businesses will be dropped, though nightclubs will still have to close by midnight.
