Korea said Monday that it will postpone its plan to ease all kinds of anti-virus curbs and fully return to pre-pandemic normalcy due to a recent surge in COVID-19 infections.

Korea reported 313,900 new infections for the week of July 23-31, up 23.7 percent from a year earlier, with nearly 45,000 people infected with the virus.

The KDCA said the number of new infections has been on a steady rise since the fourth week of June and expected the daily figure to shoot up to 76,000 in mid-August. (Yonhap)
