In order to prevent further influx of new corona into Korea, foreigners who have visited or stayed in Hubei Province in China within two weeks have been banned from 0 o'clock today. Incheon International Airport has also started operating an arrival hall for aircraft from China.

Reporter Kang Cheong-wan, It's been about seven hours.

From midnight until now, eight planes from China have entered Incheon Airport, but we have confirmed that there have been no cases where entry into Korea is prohibited.

Right now I'm at Gate F, Terminal 1, and there's an entry hall for aircraft from China.

Dedicated Arrival Halls were installed at the A and F immigration halls in Terminal 1, and at the A Immigration Hall in Terminal 2.

All passengers from China will enter through this area.

This is to ensure that the passengers do not overlap with other passengers as much as possible.

In addition, 30 telephones are set up at each entry hall to check the domestic contact information submitted by the resident on-site.

Reporter Kang, I'm just blocking the Hubei province, not the whole of China, so I'm wondering how to find out if I stayed in Hubei.

<Reporter>

Yes, once all passengers from China have a special entry process in three stages.

First of all, when issuing a flight ticket from China to Korea, you will be asked if you have been in Hubei Province since the airline counter.

In addition, when entering the second stage, we check the health status questionnaire once more.

If you make a false statement after entering the country, you will be forced to leave the country in three steps.

Passengers holding passports issued by Hubei are denied entry from the immigration stage.

Jeju Island also temporarily suspended the visa-free entry process, which has been allowed to enter non-stop flights from China from 0 o'clock today.
