The newly-raised level one-point-five social distancing measures take effect in the greater Seoul area from today.

On Wednesday, there were almost 100 new cases confirmed in the Seoul area alone.
Due to multiple cluster infections nationwide, more than 3-hundred cases are expected to be reported on Thursday.
