Starting Saturday, people traveling from Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China to South Korea will no longer have to take a Covid-19 test before entering the country.
The Korean health authority announced Wednesday that the pre-departure test results required from anyone traveling from the three regions will be lifted.
“The
Covid-19 situation in China has continued to remain stable since the [Lunar] New Year holidays,” said Lim Sook-young, director of the infectious disease crisis response bureau at the Central Disease Control Headquarters. “And there have been no new variants of concern.”
