The Korean government announced that it will lift the obligation to wear masks outdoors from May 2.
From 2nd May, people will be able to walk outdoors with no masks in Korea.
The spread of the omicron virus is rapidly decreasing and is stabilizing considerably in Korea and considering Korea’s medical level, it seems that the dangerous situation has passed.
However, there are cases where you must wear a mask outdoors.
- Rally (more than 50 people)
- Performance or Concert (more than 50 people)
