Seoul extends its advice not to travel abroad for people residing in South Korea.
This new extension, the third since its launch in March, will take place until August 19th when it should end, unless further postponement.
The move was made after analyzing the global situation regarding the spread of Coronavirus, and the growing number of cases imported into South Korea, the ministry said.
Health authorities announced Friday, July 17th, 60 new cases in the country, 39 of which have been imported. Since the epidemic began in January in South Korea, the number of cases has risen to 13,672.
We remind travelers who would like to come to Korea that they must inquire with Korean embassies of their countries, because depending on the case, visas (even for tourism) have become compulsory for a large number of countries. In addition, upon arrival in South Korea, there is a period of 14 days in self-isolation. Educate yourself well.
