The South Korean Health Ministry on March 11 announced plans to remove quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated foreign travellers from March 21. Earlier, incoming travellers were required to undergo a seven-day self-quarantine. The ministry informed that people who are fully vaccinated against Coronavirus will be exempted from self-quarantine when entering South Korea.
Fully vaccinated people refer to those who have received two vaccines of COVID-19 vaccines two weeks earlier but less than 180 days ago. However, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and Myanmar, are excluded from the self-quarantine exemption.
Although, international visitors will still need to take the rapid antigen tests twice six and seven days after entering South Korea.
Just one day after the announcement, the East Asian nation recorded a new daily record of 383,665 COVID-19 cases. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency shared the information amid a surge of Omicron cases in the country.
