Reply to comment by West-Ad8798 in S.Korea's new COVID-19 cases in 50,000 range amid winter resurgence worries by 4inalfantasy

South Korea lifted its face mask requirement in Sept. The number of people who have contracted COVID is much smaller than that of the US. So, now they are catching up.

We lifted all outdoor mask mandates. Still have to wear them indoors in all places outside your home. Thus, lots still wear them outside when they are going in and out a lot (commuting, shopping, etc).

Correct. You still have to wear masks in all indoor settings.

Not true. You don't have to wear them while dining inside. It's also extremely lax, most people take off their mask as soon as they walk into a restaurant or don't even bother putting it on to begin with. Bars are also packed and nobody masks in them.

Correct.. We also don't have to wear a mask eating. (Have we ever??)

We still have the indoor mask mandate. That was my only point. It did not go away in September.
