SEOUL, Feb 23 (NNN-YONHAP) – South Korea will lift a post-arrival test requirement for travellers from China next month, as the COVID-19 situation stabilised, South Korea’s central prevention and countermeasures headquarters said, yesterday.
Travellers from China have been required to take polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, after arrival here since early Jan. But from Mar 1, the post-arrival test requirement will be lifted, and flights from China will be allowed to land at other airports besides the Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul.
The pre-arrival test requirement, in which travellers from China are required to show negative COVID-19 test results, before boarding flights to South Korea, will be put in place until Mar 10, to monitor the effect of the moderated quarantine measures.– NNN-YONHAP
