SEOUL - South Korea said tougher social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of coronavirus will be rolled out nationwide starting Sunday as it battles a new outbreak of the disease spreading from the capital, Seoul.
South Korea used advanced contact tracing and widespread testing to contain its first outbreak of the novel coronavirus, but Asia's fourth-largest economy has experienced persistent outbreaks in recent weeks, mostly in and around densely populated Seoul and the surrounding areas. "If we don't curb the spread in early stages, this will grow as a large-scale wave. To us, there is nothing more important than focusing on responding to Covid-19," Health Minister Park Neung-hoo told a briefing on Saturday.
