South Korean officials announced new Covid-19 restrictions for two cities in South Chungcheong Province on Thursday, as cases continue to rise.
The two cities have reported 78 confirmed cases in the past week from public facilities like bath houses, karaoke centers and bars. The number of infections is expected to grow as more family members and colleagues of confirmed cases contract the virus, according to a statement issued by the province.
Stricter regulations are effective Thursday starting 6 p.m. local time. Fewer people will be allowed into various indoor facilities, and eating food will be banned in high-risk places.
