Unfortunately, based on continuing high numbers of #COVID cases in the country, UNC has suspended all non-essential activities in the #JSA, including tours. This is needed to protect the ROK public & our #DMZ personnel. We look forward to resuming tours once COVID cases subside. pic.twitter.com/dApzFJo3fE
