SEOUL, South Korea (ChurchMilitant.com) - South Korea is reopening for business, and the country's Catholic churches are poised to resume public Masses.

With the number of new Wuhan virus infections stabilizing — on Sunday, only eight new cases were reported — public spaces such as churches, gyms and bars have been given the green light to reopen. School tests and job interviews are now also permissible. The Korean baseball league, very popular with South Koreans, will also kick off soon. Catholic Churches in South Korea will once again celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — publicly.

This will be a test case for democratic nations with Catholic populations. South Korea is viewed as a model for other democracies in the fight against the pandemic. Experts say primary factors contributing to the country's success at limiting contagion include its rapid response at the first signs of the crisis and the widespread collaboration of the population.
