Besides the new restrictions in the Seoul metropolitan level, current nationwide social distancing measures are set at Level Two. These measures limit gatherings indoors and outdoors to 50 people and 100 people, respectively, according to the Wall Street Journal. They also require clubs, internet cafes and karaoke rooms to shut down. In-person church services are not prohibited under Level Two measures. There are three levels in South Korea’s social distancing system, the highest of which is level three.
