In these two places, they seem to have contained the outbreak. Are schools, bars, restaurants, gyms etc. still closed there? If yes, when will they open them?

As far as South Korea goes, they were never in a lockdown except for some very specific locations where there was mass infection connected with a church/cult. Businesses are open as usual, some with reduced hours based on their own accord.

Schools were closed and were slated to open again this week, but that’s been pushed back (again), and are now preparing to conduct lessons online.
