Criteria for easing indoor mask mandate
Prime Minister Han Duck-soo presides over a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters at the government complex in Seoul on Dec. 23, 2022. Han said the government will decide when to lift the indoor mask mandate, the country's last remaining COVID-19 restriction, depending on whether two of the four criteria -- a fall in severe cases and deaths, stability in COVID-19 cases, stable medical response capabilities and immunity among high-risk people -- are met.
