South Korea's Daegu hasn’t lost patience for the safeguards that reversed one of the Covid-19 pandemic’s early major outbreaks. The opposite has occurred: It has acclimated to the extra rigor.

DAEGU, South Korea—More than three months after Covid-19 cases peaked here, local transmissions have all but disappeared from South Korea’s hardest-hit city. Still, Daegu looks far from relaxed.

Street musicians belt out tunes wearing face masks. College students returning to their dormitories couldn’t enter without first getting a coronavirus test. Large gatherings remain banned. And 300 hospital beds are left unused, just in case the virus suddenly strikes again.
