All foreigners who went through Hubei Province, where Wuhan is in China in the last two weeks, have been banned from today (4th). In addition, all passengers entering China must pass the "three-step verification process" before entering the country.

The full ban on foreigners who have been through China's Hubei Province for the past two weeks began at 0 o'clock today.

Immigration checks for all passengers coming from China are carried out in three stages.

When issuing a ticket from a foreign country in the first step, the airline will check whether it is visiting Hubei.

Second, you will receive a health questionnaire at the entry stage.

If a false statement is revealed after entering the country, we have decided to take forced deportation and ban on entry in step 3.

Incheon International Airport also has a dedicated entry gate for flights from China.

Dedicated gates were set up in two Terminal 1 and one Terminal 2, and they were placed in both corners to avoid overlapping lines with other passengers.

In addition, thirty telephones were installed at each arrival hall to allow entry into Korea after the entrants submitted their contacts.

By noon, there were 18 flights from China.

Jeju Island has also temporarily suspended entry to Japan, which was allowed only to enter non-stop flights from China.
