Travelers from the U.S. to be Tested for Coronavirus Three Days After Arrival to Korea
|I wonder how many of the travelers from the U.S. are returning Korean citizens?:
All arrivals from the United States are to be tested for the new coronavirus within three days of self-isolation, starting Monday, health authorities said.
The strengthened measure against COVID-19 began midnight, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).
It comes as confirmed cases from the U.S. have been increasing steadily despite a gradual decline in domestic cases.
KCDC data showed that 228, or 49.7 percent, out of a total of 459 imported cases came from the U.S over the past two weeks.
On Sunday, the number of imported cases was 24, with 18 of them coming from the U.S., followed by Europe with two.
