In Central and South America, countries that lock the door are emerging one after another. It's not blocking a specific country, it's a way to control the entire immigration. So in Peru alone, 150 people are tied up.

Reporter Kim Hye-young and our local travelers had a video interview.

This is the current situation in Peru sent by our residents and travelers.


The bus terminal heading for the big city was lined up with no end, and the airport is also Insan Inhae.

The shop's daily necessities were empty.

With two weeks of unannounced immigration control, 150 Koreans were tied to Peru alone.

[Oh Sang-taek / Peru traveler: I was a little embarrassed when it was hard to go anywhere, and the airport or terminal was very crowded… . Fortunately, I had brought a mask or something from Bolivia, the former country, but it was harder to procure than I thought.]

We receive guidance and information from the embassy every time, but we have to worry about the risk of infection.

[Oh Sang-taek / Peru traveler: I wondered if it would be easy for me to be able to cope when I was infected.]

The Peruvian embassy protested the unannounced border closure and demanded responsible action, but no confirmation has been reached.

[Park Sun-Tae / Representative of the Peruvian Ambassador: A protest was made, 'Even if you launch a special plane, you must bear all of this.' 'At least in Cusco (capital with international airports), please open the way for Lima to come.'

In addition to Peru, Chile and Guatemala have also implemented border closures for about two weeks each.

Argentina and Colombia, Paraguay, Panama and Honduras, and El Salvador also blocked foreign entry.

The 'blockade policy' that started in East Asia, such as China, has spread from the Middle East to Europe to Central and South America like a domino.

It has become a 153 country that has lost its way with Korea, and the number of Koreans isolated from overseas has increased to 2,534.
