At least 36 cases have been traced to e-commerce operator Coupang’s logistics center as of 9:00 a.m., and more related cases are likely to follow, according to city government and health authorities.Should the daily number of new infections bounce back to above 50, the country may have to consider imposing tougher social-distancing scheme, which was lifted earlier this month.

South Korea has started to re-open schools in phases, with some 440,000 high school seniors returning to classrooms after more than two months of delay.
