Visiting ancestral graves amid pandemic

Listen

Family members bow to their ancestral graves at a memorial park in Incheon, west of Seoul, Sunday, ahead of the traditional Chuseok holiday, which falls on Oct. 1 this year. The Incheon city government designated Sept. 12-29 as a period to pay visits to ancestral graves, instead of closing the memorial park during the extended five-day holiday, which begins Sept. 30, as a precautionary measure against COVID-19.
