Accommodates up to 100 people per day… Concern regarding lack of facilities
On the 2nd, when high-intensity quarantine measures were implemented to test Corona 19 for entrants from China, entrants from China are waiting for the results in the waiting area following undergoing a corona test at the arrivals hall of Incheon International Airport Terminal 1. airport photographers
On the 2nd, the first day of the mandatory Corona 19 test upon entry into Korea from China, 61 of the short-term foreign residents who entered Incheon International Airport were confirmed.
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 3rd, 61 (19.7%) of 309 short-term foreign residents who came to Korea from China on the 2nd and underwent gene amplification (PCR) tests were confirmed. The total number of entrants from China is 1,052, including flight attendants. Among them, Koreans and long-term foreigners must complete the inspection within one day at the local public health center in their place of residence.
Since the 2nd, the government has required foreigners arriving by air from China for a short-term stay of 90 days or less to undergo a PCR test at the inspection center installed at Incheon International Airport. 61 short-term foreign residents who have been diagnosed with the virus are required to stay in a temporary home isolation facility near the airport for seven days. The 80,000 won test fee and the quarantine cost are all borne by the entrant. However, as the quarantine facility for short-term foreigners is only capable of accommodating 100 people a day, it is urgent to come up with measures to accommodate the increasing number of confirmed cases in the future.
If you enter Korea from China starting on the 5th, you must also submit a negative corona19 test confirmation before entering Korea. You can board a flight to Korea only if you have a negative PCR test within 48 hours of departure or a rapid antigen test (RAT) within 24 hours of departure.
