South Korea will require Chinese travelers to undergo two nucleic acid tests

According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean Prime Minister Han Deok-soo announced on December 30 that passengers from China will be required to show negative nucleic acid certificates. Han Deok-soo said that by the end of February next year, all passengers from China will be required to present a negative result of a novel coronavirus PCR or antigen test before boarding a flight to South Korea. They should undergo a PCR test within 48 hours of arrival, or an antigen test within 24 hours of arrival. Meanwhile, all travelers from China will also be required to undergo a PCR test on their first day of arrival in South Korea. | Related reading (China-Singapore Jingwei)

It is not surprising that the United States, Japan and South Korea have all considered or introduced special quarantine measures against the Chinese. After all, China should now be the country with the most severe epidemic in the world. Everyone knows this. For example, an expert said that Beijing has an 80% infection rate. According to media reports, 50% of the passengers on a flight from China to Milan, Italy were positive.

If it’s a strain like Omicron, I’m afraid there’s nothing to worry about, but if it’s a new mutant strain, then you need to be more vigilant. Given that the global scientific community’s research on the new coronavirus is not particularly thorough, it is understandable that special policies were introduced at the peak of the epidemic in China. However, there is reason to believe that these measures will be lifted at any time after the epidemic situation in China stabilizes.
