In a bid to boost tourism, South Korea has announced the removal of a mandatory 7-day quarantine for unvaxxed international arrivals from June 8. However, international arrivals will need to take a RT PCR test within three days of their entry into South Korea.

As per the Transport Ministry, the move is going to increase the number of arrival flights per hour to the pre-pandemic level of around 40 from the current 20. Now that the demand of foriegn travel is increasing in the country, the nation has decided to lift its pandemic-related restrictions on air travel.

Also to meet the rising demand, the government will also remove the limited number on the weekly international flights from June 8 as the virus situation looks quite stable in the country. Earlier, the Ministry had planned to add 100 to 300 more flights per week in phases starting May 2022.
