SEOUL (REUTERS)South Korea will further relax social distancing rules starting on Wednesday (May 6), allowing a phased reopening of businesses, as the nation has largely managed to bring the coronavirus outbreak under control, Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said on Sunday (May 3).
The government "will allow businesses to resume at facilities in phases that had remained closed up until now, and also allow gatherings and events to take place assuming they follow disinfection guidelines", he told a televised meeting of government officials.
