Seoul has reimposed social-distancing measures including closing nightclubs and limiting public transport as well as bans on public rallies and political demonstrations of more than 10 people.
The measures are in response to South Korea reporting 271 new cases of the virus: a fraction of Britain’s daily increase of 18,662.
