Is South Korea’s pandemic playbook getting a reboot? The country rolled out fresh COVID-19 policies this week, ditching curfews for businesses and easing limits on gatherings—a bold step toward ’living with COVID-19’ while cases hover above 2,000 daily. Think of it as cautiously stepping back, not letting go.
From November 1, cafes, bars, and gyms can stay open past 10 PM, and private meetups can include up to 10 people (previously 6). But here’s the twist: severe cases are climbing, hitting 522 this week. Officials haven’t confirmed when—or if—they’ll move to Stage 2, which would lift more restrictions. It’s like hitting ’pause’ on a video game to check your health bar.
Young professionals and travelers are split. Some cheer the return of late-night hangouts , while others ask: ’Are we trading safety for normalcy?’ With winter looming, will this strategy balance public health and economic revival? Stay tuned.
