Korean Government Close to Giving Up on COVID Restrictions

It appears the Moon administration before leaving office might do away with all COVID restrictions:

The government has decided to ease COVID-19 social distancing measures further, Friday, in what is anticipated to be the last adjustment on the distancing rules before scrapping all quarantine regulations in the coming weeks. 

The Ministry of Health and Welfare said Friday that it will relax social distancing measures from Monday to April 17, allowing multiuse facilities such as eateries and cafes to receive sit-in customers until midnight, pushing the limit on operating hours back by one hour to midnight from the current 11 p.m. 

The limit on the number of people for private gatherings will be eased to 10, up from the current eight. 

The ministry said all COVID-19-related curbs, except mandatory wearing of face masks, will be removed if the virus situation stabilizes in the next couple of weeks.

If they had concentrated on treating the sick—if any government had concentrated on that—they would have been widely acclaimed. Instead, they concentrated on turning citizens into subje ts and eliminating liberty.

May the Lord judge them fairly.

All measures were worthless and unnecessary from the start. Just a big scamdemic.
