A Korean court now says that Korean conservatives can hold a car parade with restrictions that make it nearly worthless to hold:

A Seoul court has approved a drive-thru rally involving less than 10 vehicles amid worries that mass gatherings could undercut South Korea’s fight against the new coronavirus.
The ruling by the Seoul Administrative Court clears the way for conservative activists to hold a small-scale drive-thru rally in Seoul this weekend.
The court allows nine people — each in their cars — to hold a rally for two hours, but they are banned from lowering their car windows or chanting slogans during the rally.
The participants are also required not to have any face-to-face meeting or contact before and after the rally in a move to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

While the Moon administration is busy trying to arrest conservatives for holding a car parade, in other news Koreans are traveling home for the Chuseok holiday packing trains, buses, and the highways.
