Some parts of China are tightening their control, including screening or forcibly quarantining immigrants from South Korea to prevent the influx of new coronavirus infections (Corona 19).

Some have pointed out that some areas of China have taken too hasty action, even though Korea has not banned entry into China despite the spread of Corona19.

According to the Consulate General of Shenyang on May 25, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, asked two passengers from two flights to Shenyang to complete a health report twice and confirmed their identity by talking to an acquaintance in China. I went through

In addition, we also asked whether to visit South Korea, including Daegu, during the entry screening process. After moving to groups by destination, all of them were required to undergo a corona test.

In addition, they should be quarantined for 14 days in their home or designated hotel if there are no symptoms.


Weihai authorities in Shandong province quarantined 163 Jeju Air passengers from Incheon who arrived at Weihai airport at 10:50 am local time.

Airport authorities will carry out quarantine procedures for all passengers and quarantine them at designated Weihai city hotels for 14 days.

A total of 163 passengers, including 19 Koreans, were boarded on Jeju Air.

This is the first time China has been forced to quarantine all Koreans.

In response, Weihai announced on Wednesday that people arriving in Weihai from Japan and South Korea will be forced to quarantine regardless of their nationality and return home after 14 days.

An official from the embassy said, "We announced that the Weihai government has taken this step for the local economy. We will do our best to ensure that our passengers are comfortable."

Weihai also said, "This is not for Koreans, but for all passengers." He said, "If you have a fever, you will be quarantined for 14 days.

The Consulate General of Qingdao and the Korean Chamber of Commerce will move with the passengers to the designated containment area.

Consulates and others plan to ask Weihai City authorities to simplify containment after a few days.


On the same day, a fever was found on a flight departing from Incheon and arriving in Nanjing, and around 169 passengers were confined to a designated hotel.

Such forced segregation of Korean immigrants seems to be a measure by which local governments, rather than the central government of China, prevent their spread.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lizen said in a regular briefing Wednesday that "China is not considering travel advisory for countries like Korea and Japan, where reported increases in corona 19 patients."

As a whole, China is strengthening defense by mandating two weeks of inspection and self-containment at airports for Koreans entering Korea.

In Beijing, centering on the largest concentration of Koreans, Wang Jing, the Apartment Residents Committee decided to issue a pass inside the complex after returning from Beijing to South Korea for two weeks.

In the past, people who came from Beijing to the airport from foreign countries did not have to quarantine themselves.

Similar measures are taking place for Koreans and other Koreans in Liaoning, Shenyang, Dalian, Jilin, Jilin, and Qingdao. .

Yancheng officials said, "We will not open tourist spots for the time being." Each travel agency does not accept group tourists, especially group tourists from Korea.

At Yanji Airport, the evacuation staff boards the plane and measures the temperature at the immigration desk.

In addition, we prevented passengers from moving individually and moved to their destinations for 14 days before they were quarantined at home.

As regulations on Korea's entry into China become more demanding, the number of flights has drastically decreased, so the number of flight signs from Seoul to parts of China soared.

According to China's reservation site, the one-way direct flight from Incheon International Airport to Qingdao reached 3,418 yuan (about 590,000 won).

The usual fare on this line is about 400-700 yuan (70,000-120,000 won).

Many Korean companies are concentrated in the province of Shandong, but those who have not returned to Corona19 after returning to the spring festival (Chinese New Year's New Year's Day) have experienced difficulties in entering China.

Meanwhile, China's Weibo (Chinese Twitter) discussion board said that "the Shandong government should restrict Koreans' entry" more than 20 million times. Not too many.
