On March 18, the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) decided to list Vietnam among the countries subjected for strengthened medical supervision as part of its measures to fight the pandemic.

Accordingly, from April 1, travelers from Vietnam, vaccinated against COVID-19 or not, will have to take mandatory seven-day quarantine. Flights from Vietnam to the RoK will be allowed to carry passengers equivalent to only 60 percent of their capacity.

Vietnamese Tourism Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (RoK) Ly Xuong Can said that in recent years, the Korean community in Vietnam has faced many difficulties due to COVID-19 prevention and control regulations which prevented them from returning to their country. The 200,000-strong community was delighted at the RoK’s removal of the seven-day quarantine policy on arrivals from Vietnam from March 21.

However, the KDCA’s recent decision means travelers from Vietnam will not be able to enjoy the quarantine exemption policy, is likely to make it difficult for Koreans to implement their business and production plans and conduct other activities, said the ambassador.
