We should all stay home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The country endured one of the worst early outbreaks of the disease outside the Chinese mainland, and while it never imposed a compulsory lockdown, strict social distancing had been widely observed since March.<\/p>\n<p>But it appears to have brought its outbreak under control thanks to an extensive &#8220;trace, test and treat&#8221; program that has drawn widespread praise.<\/p>\n<p>AFP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea&#8217;s capital has ordered the closure of all clubs and bars after a burst of new cases sparked fears of a second coronavirus wave as President Moon Jae-in urged&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Seoul\u2019s bars close over 2nd-wave fear - Danfe TV- English<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Danfe TV is Nepal&#039;s best online news source, providing 24\/7 coverage of national and international news.
