With no vaccine in sight, the country is urging people to reclaim more of their daily lives, while bracing for new waves that are all but inevitable.<\/p>\n

Go out, socialize and have fun, South Korea\u2019s government told its people, declaring the start of \u201ca new daily life with Covid-19\u201d \u2014 while keeping a vigilant eye out for any sign of backsliding, any need for restrictions to snap back into place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
It didn\u2019t take long.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, just the fourth day of the new phase, the mayor of Seoul ordered all the capital\u2019s bars and nightclubs shut down indefinitely after the discovery of a cluster of dozens of coronavirus infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
South Korea initially attacked the pandemic with such success that it became a model cited worldwide, all but halting a large outbreak<\/a> without choking off nearly as much of its economy as other nations have<\/a>. Now it is attempting something just as difficult: moving gradually, safely closer to something resembling everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Government officials, health workers and much of the public know full well that until there is a vaccine, relaxing restrictions will lead to more infections, and possibly more deaths. The trick will be to do it without allowing the contagion to come roaring back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Other nations, eager to reopen but fearful of the consequences, will be watching closely to see what happens in South Korea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cA second wave is inevitable,\u201d said Son Young-rae, a senior epidemiological strategist at the government\u2019s Central Disaster Management Headquarters. \u201cBut we are running a constant monitoring and screening system throughout our society so that we can prevent it from exploding rapidly into hundreds or thousands of cases like the one we had in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe hope to slow the spread and keep the size down to small, sporadic outbreaks, hopefully of 20 to 30 cases, that come and go,\u201d he said, \u201cso that we can handle them while the people go on with their daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
South Korea has had nearly 11,000 confirmed cases of the virus and reported 256 deaths. But it has slowed the spread <\/a>from several hundred new infections recorded daily in late February and early March, to around 10 per day in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The country adopted a massive, multipronged approach, including aggressive testing and contact-tracing, near-universal use of masks, social distancing, and localized clampdowns on hot spots. It was aided by a high degree of public cooperation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Now it is counting on the same tools to prevent a resurgence, creating a new strategy on the fly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t sustain our society with our daily life and economic activities standing still\u200b,\u201d said Health Minister Park Neung-hoo.\u200b \u201cBut unfortunately, we could not find a precedent for what we are trying to do\u200b. More likely, our experience, with its trials and errors, will serve as a reference for other nations\u200b down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
After a 29-year-old man tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, epidemiologists quickly learned that he had visited three nightclubs in Itaewon, a popular nightlife district in Seoul, on May 2. By Saturday evening, they said they were tracking down 7,200 people who had visited five Itaewon nightclubs where the virus might have ben spread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
So far, 27 cases have been found among the club-goers and people who had close contact with them, Kwon Jun-wok, a senior disease-control official, said during a news briefing on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The mayor, Park Won-soon, cited a higher figure, saying that at least 40 infections had been linked to the nightclubs. As he closed the clubs, he scolded patrons who had failed to practice safeguards like wearing masks, accusing them of putting the entire nation\u2019s health at risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\u201cJust because of a few people\u2019s carelessness, all our efforts so far can go to waste,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Under the newly eased policy that went into effect on Wednesday, the government is urging people to reclaim pieces of their daily lives, and gathering places like schools, museums, libraries, stadiums and concert halls are expected to reopen in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
If it weren\u2019t for the ubiquitous masks, South Korean cities these days would look almost as they did before the virus. Subways have filled up with commuters. Long lines have started forming on sidewalks in Seoul, not to buy masks but to get seats in favored restaurants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u200bThe government estimates that the medical system can \u200bcomfortably \u200bcontrol Covid-19 if there are fewer than 50 new cases per day, and epidemiologists can trace the source of infection at least 95 percent of the time \u2014 milestones the country passed last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It also gained confidence when 30 million people participated in parliamentary elections<\/a> on April 15 without triggering a\u200b new outbreak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But things are far from normal. Nightclubs and bathhouses take the temperatures of everyone who enters. Students wear masks in class and are not allowed to play contact sports. At Suwon Hi-Tech High School in Suwon, a city south of Seoul, every student\u2019s temperature is checked four times a day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
South Korea\u2019s baseball league started its delayed season <\/a>on Tuesday and the soccer league got underway<\/a> on Friday \u2014 with spitting prohibited and no fans in the stands. Some stadiums played recorded fan noise, while coaches and players on the sidelines wore masks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cComplacency is the biggest risk,\u201d said Jung Eun-kyeong, head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u200bSouth Korea still finds occasional patients whose origin of infection \u200bcannot be established. Ms. Jung said, \u201cthis means that the virus that has infected these people is still out there in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
A government task force of \u200beconomists and sociologists, as well as infectious-disease experts, drafted a 68-page \u201cguidebook for distancing in daily life.\u201d It outlined measures like installing partitions at cafeteria and dining-hall tables, keeping masks on in church and having visitors to weddings, funerals, karaoke bars, nightclubs and internet-game parlors write down their names and telephone numbers so they can be traced later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It calls for workers with even minor potential symptoms of Covid-19 to call in sick for a few days \u2014 a tall order in a culture where reporting for work even when sick is considered a virtue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The draft was posted online in mid-April \u200bfor public feedback. One change made with citizens\u2019 suggestion: keeping every other seat empty in movie theaters.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThere is no going back to the life we had before Covid-19,\u201d said Kim Gang-lip, a senior policy coordinator at Central Disaster Management Headquarters. \u201cInstead, we \u200bare creating a new set of social norms and culture.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

What should I do if I feel sick?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
If you\u2019ve been exposed to the coronavirus or think you have,<\/a> and have a fever or symptoms like a cough or difficulty breathing, call a doctor. They should give you advice on whether you should be tested, how to get tested, and how to seek medical treatment without potentially infecting or exposing others.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**When will this end?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**This is a difficult question, because a lot depends on how well the virus is contained<\/a>. A better question might be: \u201cHow will we know when to reopen the country?\u201d In an American Enterprise Institute report<\/a>, Scott Gottlieb, Caitlin Rivers, Mark B. McClellan, Lauren Silvis and Crystal Watson staked out four goal posts for recovery<\/a>: Hospitals in the state must be able to safely treat all patients requiring hospitalization, without resorting to crisis standards of care; the state needs to be able to at least test everyone who has symptoms; the state is able to conduct monitoring of confirmed cases and contacts; and there must be a sustained reduction in cases for at least 14 days.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**How can I help?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**The Times Neediest Cases Fund has started a special campaign to help those who have been affected, which accepts donations here<\/a>. Charity Navigator<\/a>, which evaluates charities using a numbers-based system, has a running list of nonprofits working in communities affected by the outbreak. You can give blood through the American Red Cross<\/a>, and World Central Kitchen<\/a> has stepped in to distribute meals in major cities. More than 30,000 coronavirus-related GoFundMe fund-raisers<\/a> have started in the past few weeks. (The sheer number of fund-raisers means more of them are likely to fail <\/a>to meet their goal, though.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

**Should I wear a mask?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**The C.D.C. has recommended<\/a> that all Americans wear cloth masks if they go out in public. This is a shift in federal guidance reflecting new concerns that the coronavirus is being spread by infected people who have no symptoms<\/a>. Until now, the C.D.C., like the W.H.O., has advised that ordinary people don\u2019t need to wear masks unless they are sick and coughing. Part of the reason was to preserve medical-grade masks for health care workers who desperately need them at a time when they are in continuously short supply. Masks don\u2019t replace hand washing and social distancing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**How do I get tested?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**If you\u2019re sick and you think you\u2019ve been exposed to the new coronavirus, the C.D.C. recommends that you call your healthcare provider and explain your symptoms and fears. <\/a>They will decide if you need to be tested. Keep in mind that there\u2019s a chance \u2014 because of a lack of testing kits or because you\u2019re asymptomatic, for instance \u2014 you won\u2019t be able to get tested.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**How does coronavirus spread?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**It seems to spread very easily from person to person,<\/a> especially in homes, hospitals and other confined spaces. The pathogen can be carried on tiny respiratory droplets that fall as they are coughed or sneezed out. It may also be transmitted when we touch a contaminated surface and then touch our face.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**Is there a vaccine yet?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**No. Clinical trials are underway<\/a> in the United States, China and Europe. But American officials and pharmaceutical executives have said that a vaccine remains at least 12 to 18 months away.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**What makes this outbreak so different?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**Unlike the flu, there is no known treatment or vaccine, and little is known about this particular virus so far.<\/a> It seems to be more lethal than the flu, but the numbers are still uncertain. And it hits the elderly and those with underlying conditions \u2014 not just those with respiratory diseases \u2014 particularly hard.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**What if somebody in my family gets sick?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**If the family member doesn\u2019t need hospitalization and can be cared for at home, you should help him or her with basic needs and monitor the symptoms, while also keeping as much distance as possible, according to guidelines issued by the C.D.C.<\/a> If there\u2019s space, the sick family member should stay in a separate room and use a separate bathroom. If masks are available, both the sick person and the caregiver should wear them when the caregiver enters the room. Make sure not to share any dishes or other household items and to regularly clean surfaces like counters, doorknobs, toilets and tables. Don\u2019t forget to wash your hands frequently.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**Should I stock up on groceries?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**Plan two weeks of meals if possible. But people should not hoard food or supplies. Despite the empty shelves, the supply chain remains strong.<\/a> And remember to wipe the handle of the grocery cart with a disinfecting wipe and wash your hands as soon as you get home.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**Can I go to the park?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**Yes, but make sure you keep six feet of distance between you and people who don\u2019t live in your home. Even if you just hang out in a park, rather than go for a jog or a walk, getting some fresh air, and hopefully sunshine, is a good idea.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**Should I pull my money from the markets?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**That\u2019s not a good idea.<\/a> Even if you\u2019re retired, having a balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds so that your money keeps up with inflation, or even grows, makes sense. But retirees may want to think about having enough cash set aside for a year\u2019s worth of living expenses and big payments needed over the next five years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
**What should I do with my 401(k)?<\/strong><\/h4>\n**Watching your balance go up and down can be scary. You may be wondering if you should decrease your contributions \u2014 don\u2019t!<\/a> If your employer matches any part of your contributions, make sure you\u2019re at least saving as much as you can to get that \u201cfree money.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
