'The daily life we enjoy today is a result of our citizens abiding by social distancing rules and maintaining personal hygiene,' Deputy Director Kwon Jun-wook of Korean CDC said in a briefing Thursday. The five key rules advised by the government include staying home for three to four days

South Korea has officially begun transition into 'distancing in daily life' measures after 45 days of implementing strict 'social distancing' but fears remain whether new rules are enough to keep people safe.

Public facilities such as schools, libraries and museums plan to open in phases, placing their own social distancing measures. The National Museum of Korea plans to open up to only 300 people each day. Those who made online reservations will have their temperature checked and must wear masks before entering the museum, standing six feet apart from each other.

Turning on air conditioning in schools remain uncertain after reports that air conditioners in a closed room could spread the virus and cause group infections. The Educational Ministry has recommended ventilating classrooms by opening windows wide and often.All players and staff participating in the Korea Baseball League 2020 season which kicked off on Tuesday must have their temperature checked twice a day and record self-check lists of health status every day.
