S. Korea’s new COVID-19 cases post on-week rebound amid post-pandemic recovery 

By Yonhap

After people have started to relax in regard to the Covid-19 Pandemic, South Korea’s new covid cases bounced back to over 4,000 a week. South Korea just lifted the mask mandate on public transportation last week to try and return to pre-pandemic life. The death count from the Covid-19 Pandemic has also rose in the past week now totaling 34,223 total deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. International travel has also started opening back up posing a risk to international spread of Covid-19 into South Korea.

The article overall is very informative and a good update into where South Korea stands in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In comparison to the United States, South Korea has been slower at transitioning to a post-Covid society. The article is from the Korea Herald so it was translated from Korean to English by their own translators.

I would say the perspective shown in the article is a Korean citizen wanting to return to some sense of normalcy after Covid-19. The author is simply reporting on new cases of Covid and how South Korea is lifting mandates.
