That brings the country's total to 82,918 cases, according to the NHC.

There were no new deaths, the NHC said, with the total number of fatalities staying at 4,633. It also said there were 12 new asymptomatic cases, where patients do not display symptoms of the disease.

Just last week, the country eased restrictions as cases continued to fall, allowing businesses to reopen gradually and gatherings to take place.

But on Saturday, the country shut down all night clubs, bars and discos in its capital Seoul after dozens of infections were linked to club goers, with authorities saying they were tracking a list of 1,500 people who had gone to those clubs. —People wearing protective face masks walk through the street at night in the Itaewon area of Seoul, South Korea, on Saturday, May 9, 2020.

South Korea barely had a first wave, and that was the problem with their approach in 1st place. You'll never be able to really 'ramp back up' if you refuse to let an infectious virus permeate & neurotically contain, just a series of 'false starts.' AlexBerenson do you agree?

They crushed the virus several people cited them to me as the test/track/incarcerate as the world model for doing everything right and stopping the virus...

South Korea doesn’t need to warn about a second wave. It’s inevitable. It’s the truth. It’s obviously just a matter of time. It’s common sense. Why should another country be warning us? What are they doing? making it speed up faster? We should be warning our own people of this!

Out of 6 billion

You sure China didn’t pay for this ad?

Stop the fake news, now!

Thousands of people gonna die? Wall Street casino stonks up another 800 points tomorrow!

liljurist South Korea fucked up massively multiple times. They got lucky because they distrust China and their epicenter was a cult with detailed contact info which made tracing simple.

Bull crap

Hi. I see you wrote 'South Korea' but did you know that Koreans don't really like it when you specify 'South' when it's not totally necessary to what you're saying? It's a painful and unwelcome reminder of our divided country. Please consider this in the future. 감사합니다!

Donnie will prevent the second wave don’t worry folks! Just like he promised to prevent the first wave and the cases went magically from 15 to 0 as he promised in Feb. 🙄

I hate being right all the time This is the new reality. People WILL get sick and people WILL die now that COVID19 has been unleashed Even a vaccine isn’t a gurantee This is our new reality. It’s time to accept it and REOPEN

Better pump out more fear tactics to help control the people

Can’t have a second wave in the US if the first wave just keeps growing... 🤦‍♂️

South Korea’s Early Coronavirus Wins Dim After Rash of New CasesSouth Korea, which largely succeeded in quelling the spread of the coronavirus, is back on the defensive, with Seoul’s bars and clubs ordered closed, as the country reported its biggest one-day increase in new infections in a month. If they can't open up completely, why should we believe we can? Oh yeah... Because we are the 'Live and let Die' nation! There is no cure & no realistic treatment. The only prevention is physical distancing. The end. Better not to say which one is the best. Just share our best knowledge to curb the virus and try not to make the same mistakes that could have been avoided. As we can see from the cases of Singapore & SKorea, all can be vulnerable again if not in high alert.
