SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA(AP) – South Korea said it will remove the entry restrictions it placed on short-term travellers from China since the start of the year as officials see the COVID-19 situation in that country as stabilising.
South Korea in early January stopped issuing most short-term visas at its consulates in China, citing concerns about a virus surge in the country and the potential for new mutations. China abruptly eased coronavirus restrictions in December, raising the prospect of millions of Chinese travelling abroad again for the first time in three years.
