Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said, “If you arrive from China by the end of February next year, you will be required to undergo a COVID-19 test before and after entry.”
Prime Minister Han said at a meeting of the Corona 19 Security and Disaster Countermeasures Central Headquarters chaired at the Seoul Government Complex, “The government inevitably tightens some quarantine measures to prevent internal spread due to worsening of the situation in China”.
He added: “Only when the negative is confirmed through a PCR test within 48 hours or a rapid antigen test within 24 hours before entry, can you board a domestic flight.” I will block it,” she added.
However, he also announced that he will allow exceptional measures for Koreans who have to enter the country for urgent reasons.
“We will limit the issuance of short-term visas until the end of next month, except for diplomatic and official business, essential companies and humanitarian reasons,” Han said.
“We will temporarily suspend further flights from China and merge flights from China to arrive at Incheon Airport for efficient inbound traveler quarantine management,” he said.
