Most of those infected have been migrant workers from Myanmar. <\/p>\n<p>Seafood sellers say business has fallen in a country whose economy had already been badly hit by a collapse in tourism. \u201cWe want the government to create confidence in shrimp consumption,\u201d said Piyarat Chongthep, among the scores of protesters at Government House, some of whom briefly scuffled with police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block-time published-time\"> <time datetime=\"2020-12-26T09:11:16.062Z\">9.11am <span class=\"timezone\">GMT<\/span><\/time> <\/p>\n<p> A resurgence of coronavirus in South Korea has reached new heights during Christmas week, prompting soul-searching on how the nation sleepwalked into a crisis. <\/p>\n<p>The 1,241 infections on Christmas Day were the largest daily increase. Another 1,132 cases were reported Saturday, bringing South Korea\u2019s caseload to 55,902. <\/p>\n<p>Over 15,000 were added in the last 15 days alone.

Officials could decide to increase social distancing measures to maximum levels on Sunday, after resisting for weeks. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/live\/2020\/dec\/26\/coronavirus-live-news-tier-4-england-uk-eu-vaccine-rollout\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Covid-19 resurges in South Korea; cases pass 3m in Russia.
