SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea will lift an outdoor face mask mandate starting next week, Yonhap news agency reported on Friday, in the country’s latest step to ease COVID-19 restrictions as the Omicron variant recedes.
The move would come two weeks after South Korea scrapped most of its pandemic-related precautions, including a midnight curfew on restaurants and other businesses, on April 18.
