Korea doesn’t make gifts to protect itself.
From abroad 8 people refused to force themselves into solitary confinement for 14 days. The Korean authorities have rebuked firmly.
Indeed at the moment all people, whether Korean or not coming from abroad and arriving on Korean soil will have to undergo a screening test on arrival at the airport then will have to remain confined “strictly” for 14 days with daily notification of his state of health through an application. For those who don’t have accommodation they will have to pay around 100,000 won (75 euros) per day to stay in a public establishment.
The 8 people who didn’t respect the rules are not allowed to enter the country according to the new quarantine measures. In addition, offenders will be fined up to 10 million won (7,500 euros) or one year in prison. Foreigners can also be expelled and can no longer return to the country.
Korea, which is very picky on how to contain the epidemic, even if they are much less numerous, sees the number of cases of infected people increasing, with a report indicating that 35% of these would be due to people coming from abroad.
From all over the world, we strongly invite you to protect yourself and respect the rules indicated by your respective countries.
