South Korea Will End Testing for Travelers From China

What’s new: South Korea will lift Covid testing requirements for travelers from China next month, the latest easing of restrictive measures against its neighbor as China’s omicron wave recedes, according to state media.

Starting March 1, South Korea will no longer require inbound travelers from China to get tested for Covid upon arrival, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported, citing South Korean health authorities. However, the requirement for travelers from China to submit negative nucleic acid test results prior to departure will last until March 10.
