Prime Minister Han Deok-soo announced on the 3rd, “The government will lift all air restrictions at Incheon International Airport from the 8th and ensure that flights are operated in a timely manner according to air demand.”
Prime Minister Han said in remarks at the Corona 19 Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters meeting at the government complex in Seoul on the same day, “Currently, Incheon International Airport is restricting the number of flights and flight time, so it is not able to respond flexibly to air demand.” .
Prime Minister Han said that he would also remove the duty to quarantine people arriving from abroad. As a result, the 7-day quarantine obligation that was applied to non-vaccinated persons entering overseas will also disappear from the 8th. However, the duty of PCR or rapid antigen testing before entry and PCR testing within 3 days following entry is maintained.
Prime Minister Han said, “The government will not be complacent with the improvement of the quarantine situation, but will thoroughly overhaul the medical response system in preparation for a resurgence, etc.”
