Outdoor public swimming pools and water sports facilities on the banks of the Han River in Seoul will reopen later this month after being closed for more than two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, city government officials said Wednesday.
Seoul Metropolitan Government said four swimming pools and two facility zones by the river will be open from June 24 until Aug. 21.
The city government had closed the facilities, usually open in the summer, since 2020 due to the rise in infections in the capital. (Yonhap)
