S. Korea to downgrade COVID-19 infection level to lowest

A medical worker prepares to conduct coronavirus tests at a screening clinic in Seoul's Yongsan Ward on Aug. 23, 2023. Starting Aug. 31, South Korea will lower the infection level of COVID-19 to the lowest category to manage the disease like seasonal flu, lifting nearly all antivirus curbs and fully returning to pre-pandemic normalcy, health authorities said.
