Also, as the outdoor mask mandate was lifted on May 2, 2022 there are many changes in people’s movements. After social distancing was lifted, the amount of movement across the country increased by 6%. It was found that the movement of the people continued to increase.

 

From April 11th to 17th of last month, just before the lifting of the distance, the number of nationwide movements was about two hundred million.

 

From April 18th to 24th, the first week lifting the social distancing guidelines, the amount of movement was 249.29 million people the previous week, which was 8.52 million people (3.5%) compared to the previous week, In the second week, 5.7 million cases (2.4%) increased from the previous week. The figure is smaller than before the outbreak of COVID-19.

Distribution industry has been unable to hold events for the past two years due to COVID-19, but as social distancing has been lifted recently, they are focusing on face-to-face marketing by introducing a variety of experiential content.

 

However, due to anxiety about COVID-19 and psychological factors, the obligation to wear outdoor masks was lifted, but most people were seen wearing masks while moving. Like this, the reason why people continue to wear masks seems to be combination of factors. Although, the obligation to wear an outdoor mask has been lifted, but the obligation to wear a mask is still maintained indoors.

 

Even with the lifting of distancing guidelines it seems the same as the COVID-19 era, but a different appearance will appear. While travel and gatherings are expected to appear a little freedom, people should take care of their health by thoroughly maintaining personal quarantine.
