SEOUL: South Korea said on Friday it would further relax its social distancing rules next week and possibly scrap most pandemic-related curbs later this month, including an obligation to wear masks outdoors.
From April 4, a curfew on eateries and other businesses will be pushed back to midnight from 11pm, and private gatherings of up to 10 people will be allowed, Health Minister Kwon Deok-cheol said.
