South Korea to Lift Mask Rules in Most Areas

The video discusses the recent decision in South Korea to lift indoor mask mandates, a significant change after a long period of mandatory mask-wearing. Despite this change, masks remain required in high-risk areas like public transport and hospitals. The decision comes as COVID-19 cases have significantly decreased, with current numbers around 30,000 daily, a stark contrast to the 600,000 daily cases in March 2022. South Korea has been proactive in managing COVID-19 from the start, and this policy shift reflects the improved situation.
