오늘부터 어린이집 휴원 해제...수도권은 휴원 연장

Some daycare centers in South Korea have reopened three months after they were closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
However, those in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do Province will remain shut until the number of new infections slows.
The daycare centers that have reopened have to follow guidelines like wearing face masks and checking temperatures.
The government decided to resume daycare services because of the strain it was putting on their emergency child care services.
They offer the service to parents that need to work.
Use of this service increased several-fold between February and May.
