40 New COVID-19 Cases Trigger Closure Of Seoul's Bars, Nightclubs

Korea ordered all bars and nightclubs in its capital city to be closed indefinitely on Saturday.

According to Business Insider, the move came after a COVID-19 outbreak in Seoul was linked to them.

Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon said as many as 40 new cases could be traced to nightclubs in the city.

On Wednesday a man diagnosed with COVID-19 said he had visited three nightclubs in the Itaewon area of the city.

Earlier this week, residents had been encouraged to begin returning to their daily lives.
