South Korea’s health authorities will limit the entry of foreigners from some countries where Covid-19 infections are surging through a temporary restriction on flights and visa issuances.
With the exception of important business trips or visits by government officials, Korean authorities will restrict issuance of visas “as much as possible,†and put a temporary ban on non-scheduled flights from countries where the virus is widely spreading, the Ministry of Health and Welfare said.
The measures will “immediately take effect†for visitors from Pakistan and Bangladesh, which account for some of the recent cases in South Korea, it said. New cases surged by 67 on June 20 in South Korea, the highest net increase since May 27, amid concern over second waves.
