From today (30th), the obligation to wear a mask has disappeared in most indoor spaces.
We are passing through another turning point to get out of Corona 19 and go to daily recovery.
However, you still need to wear a mask at medical institutions and public transportation.
When will we be able to be completely liberated from indoor masks?
Jeong Ki-seok, head of the Corona 19 Special Response Team, predicted this period to be around May.
Even if the mask duty is completely lifted, the 7-day quarantine still remains.
To relieve this obligation, scientific evidence is needed to test the transmissibility of the mutant virus and that the results are safe.
There is also a need for social discussion on the 'right to rest if you are sick' and 'the right to receive treatment if confirmed'.
The World Health Organization has decided to maintain a public health emergency for the time being.
The situation in China and the increase in deaths around the world seem to have had an impact, but in the end, whether to lift the emergency is expected to be discussed again in three months.
Today's SBS 8 News takes a look at the remaining measures until the daily recovery after the indoor mask duty is lifted.
