Nonetheless, there are some that call for even more restrictions to stop the spread of the virus and say the government should implement Level Three social distancing measures. These measures are the closest thing South Korea has to the lockdown people are familiar with in the U.S., although they are not as restrictive. Level Three measures would prohibit gatherings of more than 10 people, shut down schools and stop professional sports. Under these measures, private companies would be advised to have all but essential employees work from home.

It is important to note that even under Level Three measures, many guidelines are voluntary, according to the Journal.
