Authorities will review whether to return to intensive social distancing if 50 daily infections persist for more than two weeks, Health Minister Park Neung-hoo told a briefing. More than 96% of new infections were in the Seoul metropolitan area in the last two weeks, he added. Of Thursday’s new cases, 42 were from the Seoul area.

At least 147 cases were linked to an outbreak at an e-commerce logistics centre near Seoul, the Korea Centers for Disease Prevention and Control said.
