DNHN - The Republic of Korea (RoK) Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) has officially removed Viet Nam from the list of countries subjected to tightened COVID-19 control measures.
The agency said in a statement that during its 88th meeting on March 31, after analysing COVID-19 risks from each country and the number of infections among the arrivals in the RoK, the KDCA decided to remove Viet Nam, Myanmar and Ukraine out of the list.
Earlier, the RoK issued a decision to list Viet Nam among the countries subjected for strengthened medical supervision as part of its measures to fight the pandemic, under which from April 1, travelers from Viet Nam, vaccinated against COVID-19 or not, will have to take mandatory seven-day quarantine. Flights from Viet Nam to the RoK will be allowed to carry passengers equivalent to only 60 percent of their capacity.
KDCA Commissioner Jeong Eun-kyung said that in the time to come, the RoK plans to flexibly operate the system for evaluating and deciding quarantine exemption for countries through the monitoring of the risk level in each country, thus making suitable adjustments.
