Today (26th), the number of new corona patients recorded 75,000 as of 9 pm last night, a significant increase from the same time the day before.
This is because the number of inspections has increased again, but it is maintaining a gradual decline.
From yesterday, you can eat food in indoor facilities such as movie theaters and large marts, and reporter Jeong Da-eun toured the site.

The smell of grilling meat at a large supermarket in Gangseo-gu, Seoul catches your foot.
[I don't know how long the tasting is, customers come and taste it.]
In one corner of a large mart, a tasting event is in full swing.
A distance of at least 3 meters must be maintained between event facilities and facilities and at least 1 meter between eaters.
There are people who welcome the resumption of tasting after a long time, but are not willing to touch it.
[Jeon Eun-ha / Gangseo-gu, Seoul: I also recommend tasting, so the mart seems to be a little brighter.
I haven't eaten yet, so I'm going to continue to wear a mask (I'm thinking about it)]
The cinema kiosk was full of people buying popcorn.
However, it should be ventilated every screening session.
[Hwang Jae-hyeon/CJ CGV Communication Team Leader: We are implementing frequent ventilation through the air conditioning system.
We are informing you to wear a mask except for food intake.]
I also noticed people eating bread and packed lunches in the KTX room.
It is possible to eat and drink on railroads and express and intercity buses, but the government recommends that you refrain from public etiquette in the subway.
City and town buses are still banned.
The grade of Corona Infectious Disease has also been lowered from Grade 1 to Grade 2.
The government has decided to take off the mask outdoors this week, and plans to remove the duty to isolate confirmed patients by the end of next month.
However, it is unclear whether and when it will be implemented as the Presidential Transition Committee opposes it as it is a hasty measure.
