The reason why the government does not take the "restriction of foreign entry" as a way to prevent the spread of Corona19 is that "because our people must leave room to go abroad".

Minister of Health and Welfare Park Neung-Hoo made the comments during a regular briefing at Corona 19 at the government office in Seoul.

He said, "If we go abroad to do essential things, and from abroad to do such things, the economy can return and society can be maintained." I think it makes sense. "

The government has announced that from April 1st, all entrants entering Korea will be forced to enter quarantine for two weeks regardless of their origin and nationality.

This is a high-intensity measure reflecting the recent influx of about 40% of new corona19 confirmed patients in Korea.

However, there were no restrictions on foreign entry required by some.

"If all foreign immigrants self-separate for 14 days, it will be practically close to immigration restrictions for foreigners who come for tourism purposes," said Park. Said.
