NATIONALKoreans reluctant to unmask on first day of eased indoor mask rule
실내 마스크 착용 의무가 해제된 첫날에 마스크 벗기를 꺼리는 사람들
Monday marked the first day of the drastic easing of Korea's indoor mask mandate after it was enforced nationwide in October 2020. Starting midnight, wearing a mask in most indoor facilities has become optional with a few exemptions. 월요일은 지난 2020년 10월 실내마스크 착용이 전국적으로 시행된 이후 마스크 착용 의무가 해제된 첫날이다. 이 날 자정부터 몇 가지 예외 사례를 제외하고는 대부분의 실내 시설에서 마스크를 착용하는 것이 선택 사항이 되었다.
