The government mandated all foreigners entering Korea to submit negative confirmation of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) diagnostic test. This is a countermeasure against the outbreak of a highly contagious variant virus.

According to the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters on the 1st, the government is obligated to submit a negative PCR (gene amplification) certificate issued within 72 hours of departure for all foreigners entering Korea from all over the world.

According to the quarantine authorities, in the case of airports, the entry begins on the 8th and the port begins on the 15th. Foreigners whose voice confirmation does not meet the eligibility criteria are not permitted to enter the country.

The mutant virus, which is known to have a transmission power of up to 70% higher than the existing Corona 19 virus, has been found in Japan, China, Australia, Italy, Israel, Germany, France, and Spain in addition to the UK and South Africa. In Korea, mutant viruses have been confirmed in 5 people arriving from the UK so far.

Earlier, the government mandated the submission of negative PCR confirmations for foreigners entering the UK and South Africa, where the mutant virus is spreading.
