South Korea’s president says the country will offer Covid-19 vaccinations to all its people free of charge in phases, AP reported.

South Korean officials have said they’ll have vaccines for 56 million people, an amount seemingly enough for the country’s 52m people.

Who will get vaccinated first has not yet been decided but is likely to be people at long-term care centres and nurses and doctors.

South Korea reported 451 new virus cases, the first time for its daily tally to come below 500 in 41 days. The country’s total stands at 69,114 with 1,140 deaths.
