China News Service, July 20, according to Korean media reports, South Korea's Central Epidemic Prevention Headquarters reported on the 20th that South Korea has added 26 new crown confirmed cases, with a total of 13,771 confirmed cases and a total of 296 deaths. Among them, the number of new local cases in a single day fell to single digits, only 4 cases.
As the new crown epidemic situation gradually stabilized, the South Korean government decided to relax the "enhanced version of the epidemic prevention measures in the metropolitan area", and public facilities such as libraries, museums and art galleries in the metropolitan area will resume operations within this week.
