Korea! July Outdoor No-Mask! From tomorrow onwards, only those who have received the first dose of the corona vaccine and those who have completed it will not be able to wear a mask outdoors. Admission to 'mask freedom' is possible! However, the no-mask policy may change depending on the recent mutated virus.
Is it really a story to rejoice in? Starting tomorrow, July 1 (Thursday), only those who have received the first dose of corona vaccine and those who have completed it will not need to wear a mask outside.
The people who are happy with the news that the mask they have been wearing for over two years is finally disappearing, and on the other hand, there seems to be some concern that it is still too early due to the recent outbreak of the delta mutant virus.
So, the government also expressed a position that it may change the 'free mask' policy depending on the situation of the mutant virus. According to reports, the government has recently put in place various policies to benefit those vaccinated against the coronavirus. So, from July 1st (Thursday), we announced a policy that the first dose of corona vaccine and those who completed it do not need to wear masks in quiet outdoor spaces such as playgrounds and parks.
However, a provision has been made to ensure that masks must be worn continuously at gatherings or events with large numbers of people, such as clubs, concert halls, amusement parks, shopping malls, and department stores where many people gather. So, this 'mask freedom' measure applies only outdoors and outdoors, and it remains the same that everyone, including primary immunizations, must wear a mask indoors.
However, please note that the outdoor 'mask free' policy may be withdrawn due to the recent delta virus. Maybe it will be good news for the people who are suffering from a lot of fatigue due to the corona, but there is also a concern that these efforts will be lost due to the appearance of the delta virus, which can be infected just by touching it. I hope you take the utmost care in quarantine.
