South Korea will test travellers from China for COVID-19 and restrict short-term visas for Chinese nationals, joining a handful of countries that have introduced travel restrictions due to surging infections in the world’s most populous country.
Travellers from China will be required to provide a negative PCR test within 48 hours of departure or a rapid antigen test taken within 24 hours, followed by a PCR test after arrival, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said on Friday.
