"It now feels normal getting Covid, and there's so many people testing positive that it's actually almost strange not getting infected," says one resident in South Korea's capital Seoul, as the number of daily cases in the country surpasses 600,000.
Seoul, Jul 14 (EFE/EPA).- South Korea registered a new daily record of Covid-19 cases on Wednesday with 1,615, prompting authorities to extend restrictions outside the capital region due to the increase in infections in less populated areas.Of the 1,615 new infections, 1,568 occurred domestically and 47 were found in people coming from abroad, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said.Greater Seoul, where more than half of the country lives and around 80 percent of new cases have been recorded, has been under the highest restriction level since Monday, closing nighclubs, holding classes online and prohibiting meetings of more than two people between 6 pm and 5 am.

"It is difficult to have any feelings anymore," says one resident in South Korea's capital Seoul on the latest series of tests by Pyongyang. "I just think ‘they are doing it again,’ because North Korea conducts too many missile tests."
