SEOUL – government would take caution when deciding whether to downgrade the infectious disease classification of COVID-19 next week, noting an uptick in the number of infections in recent weeks.

“The number of new COVID-19 infections is increasing due to reduced immunity over time after vaccination, not wearing masks and increased time spent indoors during the heat wave. The risk of COVID-19 is not big for healthy people, but protection for the elderly and those with weakened immune systems is still needed,” the KDCA noted.
