Criteria for easing indoor mask mandate
Jee Young-mee, head of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, speaks during a press conference at the agency building in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, central South Korea, on Dec. 23, 2022. The government said the same day it 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.
