South Korea has said it plans to tighten border checks for all arrivals from overseas to prevent new cases of coronavirus coming into the country at a time when domestically transmitted infections are subsiding, Reuters reported.
“We've assessed that there's a need for universal special entry procedures for all arrivals, given rapid increases in new cases not only in Europe but also in the United States and Asia in the wake of the pandemic”, Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told a briefing.
The stricter border checks for all arrivals will start on Thursday.
