: South Korea is set to fully shift to an “endemic” approach to the Covid-19 pandemic, lifting some last-remaining mandates, including indoor mask requirements for hospitals, from next month, officials said Friday.
The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters said it will lower the four-grade Covid-19 crisis level from the second highest “alert” to the lowest “concern” from May 1. The decision came more than four years after the country's first case of Covid-19 was reported on Jan 20, 2020. While the Covid-19 vaccine will continue to be freely available to everyone until the 2023-2024 season, it will subsequently be limited to high-risk groups, such as individuals, aged 65 and above, and those who are immunocompromised.
