The Republic of Korea had managed to keep the coronavirus eruption largely under control until recently. Due to the cold weather and perhaps slack containment however, the daily outbreaks of COVID-19 have been surpassing 1,000 since mid-December.

Revitalizing ROK-US alliance: challenges and opportunities
The dramatic U.S. presidential election that captured global attention has virtually finished.
