Mandatory Foreigner COVID Testing Requirement Rescinded By South Korean Authorities

It didn’t take long to get this order targeting foreigners rescinded:

The Seoul Metropolitan Government on Friday withdrew its controversial administrative order forcing all foreign workers in the capital region to undergo COVID-19 testing, after having faced mounting criticism over alleged discrimination and violations of foreign residents’ human rights. 

The city said its order, issued on Wednesday, was changed to an “advisory” for foreign workers to receive a test by the end of the month if their workplaces have a high risk of infection.
