But as hotels reopen to tourists and funding wanes, tens of thousands of homeless nationwide are being forced from the motels.

Starting Thursday, authorities plan to permit social gatherings of up to six people â an increase from the current four. Restaurants, cafes and other businesses will be allowed to stay open until midnight, rather than 10 p.m. And eased distancing guidelines will be applied outside the Seoul region.
