U.S. Ambassador Harry Harris visited Incheon International Airport on Wednesday to see how fever checks on U.S.-bound passengers are going, a day after South Korea’s government took over the anti-coronavirus screening mission from airlines.

Harris visited a boarding gate in the Second Terminal of the airport, west of Seoul, and observed officials taking the temperatures of passengers of an Atlanta-bound Korean Air plane and received a briefing about the screening process.

“Terrific visit to Incheon Airport to see 1st-hand ROKG measures to combat COVID-19 & mgmt of travelers to USA. Impressed w/ROK’s robust & comprehensive response efforts to limit the virus’ spread. Thanks to all for the hard work,” he wrote in his Twitter account afterwards. 

On Tuesday, the government said it will take over the anti-coronavirus screening mission from airlines and conduct health examinations on passengers boarding flights to the U.S. from the Incheon airport and Gimhae International Airport in the southeastern city of Busan.

This mask business is starting to get out of hand. While ON public transportation,okay, I halfway understand that. But walking down the sidewalk? Everyone’s got one on, everywhere.

We recently took a day-trip to Bukhan-san for some fresh air, and nearly everyone was walking these mountain nature trails WITH MASKS ON! What the ever loving pheouck, people?

It’s like the fan death mentality…but with masks.

But you can’t buy a mask unless you have National Health Insurance and they’re $3 each…

I guess the local populace is happy with the US ambassador now. You can’t see his mustache!

I thought for certain that moustache would filter out any bad pathogens…

I like to see other people wearing masks, since they might not even know if they have the virus. The infected KN employee on Humphreys wore a mask when she went inside the px.

The masks only protect others for a short time… And they’re very expensive due to the panic the PRC has bought and paid for…

The worker on Humphreys not only went into starbucks and the PX, she also apparently worked out in a gym on post (which she is not authorized to use).
