<p>The country reported five new Covid-19 cases on Monday but has not seen widespread community transition and will allow a partial reopening of the economy.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country has so far managed to avoid the worst scenarios for an outbreak and would continue to hunt down the last few cases.</p>
<p>From midnight on Monday, certain businesses such as construction will be allowed to reopen, but social distancing rules will still apply.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, South Korea is looking at reopening schools as the number of cases begins to tail off.</p>
<p>Authorities reported 10 new cases on Monday, the 26th straight day where this number has been in double figures.</p>
<p>Using an active test-and-quarantine program, South Korea has so far managed to slow its outbreak without imposing lockdowns or business bans.</p>
<p>However, schools have been closed and remote-learning programmes set up in their place.</p>
<p>Prime Minster Chung Sye-kyun instructed education officials to prepare measures to ensure hygiene and enforce distance between students at schools so the government could announce a timeline for reopening schools no later than early May.</p>
<p>Authorities in China reported three new cases on Monday and have now gone 12 days without recording a death relating to Covid-19.</p>
<p>The coronavirus outbreak originated from the country, and 723 people remain in hospital suffering from the virus, while a further 1,000 are being kept in isolation.</p>
<p>Beijing added one additional post-mortem death to its count, raising China’s overall death toll to 4,633 from 82,830 cases.</p>
<p>Of the new cases, two were imported and one was detected in the province of Heilongjiang bordering Russia, according to the National Health Commission.</p>
