US Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Kucchinelli told the South Korean government that it is active in medical screening for passengers traveling to the United States because it has not banned Korea.

Acting Kuchinelli met with a reporter from the US Congress on this day, saying, "Some of the reasons we still continue to fly flights (with Korea and Italy) are providing medical conditions for their (Korea and Italy) government to come up with a successful inspection system. It's very active, ”the US media Washington Post said.

Acting Kuchinelli said, "This is a great cooperation we are getting from Italy and Korea."

US Vice President Mike Pence said yesterday, "Thanks to the Italian and Korean governments, as well as to airline partners, for showing cooperation," on pre-board medical inspections for all passengers on non-stop flights to the United States from Korea and Italy.

The US Traffic Safety Administration (TSA) has mandated pre-boarding fever screening and check-in for all airlines operating flights from the United States and northern Italy to the United States.

President Donald Trump has announced that he will conduct medical tests when he enters the United States.
