On June 28, 62 new cases and 14 new cases in Seoul occurred. There are no fatalities, though it is difficult.
In addition to Seoul and Gyeonggi-do this week, the number of infected people has increased in Ota City in the central part, so everyone is nervous.
This is a poster about wearing masks at Seoul subway station. It is compulsory to wear a mask nationwide when using public transportation. Please note that you may be refused the use of a taxi, bus, subway, etc. without a mask. The poster also tells you about nearby shops where you can buy masks.
Masks are sold at convenience stores, drug stores, subway vending machines, and accessory stores.
Most indoor facilities are closed.
As the weather has become hot, many people head to mountains, rivers, and the sea. Also, it seems that camping and car nights (Chabak: a type of camping in a modified car) that you can enjoy without worrying about infection are popular.
On June 24, there were 46 new cases and 6 new cases in Seoul. A campaign to secure a middle-distance in life continues nationwide.
About 8pm, I went to the Han River by bicycle. It was very hot during the day, so it was crowded with people who enjoyed jogging and cycling at night. Most people wore masks, but it seems that some people are alert because it is outdoors + exercise.
Facilities such as the old palace, museums, and libraries will be closed for the time being until the number of infections falls below 10 people.
The number of infections on June 16 was 34, of which 13 were from abroad. There were 13 new infections in Seoul. The number of infections was less than one week ago when the number of infections exceeded 50 and peaked, but the number of daily infections this week is about 30 in Japan. Although the campaign to secure a middle-distance of life continues nationwide, there is no inconvenience to life except for wearing masks to avoid events and meetings.
Around 12 o'clock, Gwanghwamun, which has many companies, is crowded with office workers. It seems that most people are wearing masks and be careful. Many people feel safe outdoors, and more people enjoy a walk after lunch than before.
The old palace, museum, library, etc. were originally scheduled to be reopened from yesterday on June 15, but due to the spread of the infection mainly in Seoul, it was closed. People such as the Han River and parks enjoy bicycles and picnics. (Of course, you have to be 2 meters away from others when you have a picnic!)
