TOKYO, Aug 10 (KUNA) -- South Korea confirmed 28 additional new coronavirus cases Monday, raising the country's total caseload to 14,626, according to Yonhap News Agency.
The country reported no new virus deaths, keeping the number of fatalities at 305, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
The government plans to gradually increase the number of spectators at sports events, allowing baseball stadiums to be at 30 percent capacity starting Tuesday, up from the previous 10 percent.
Meanwhile, amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases from China's Xinjiang region and Vietnam's Danang, health authorities decided to reimpose two-week isolation for businesspeople returning home from such areas.
The country has not required the mandatory quarantine for South Korean businessmen returning home from China, Vietnam, and Cambodia since July 29. (end)
