The Korean government newly released a new measure that for the next two weeks (Dec. 3, 2021~ Dec.16, 2021), travelers arriving from all countries, excluding 9 countries*, must isolate for 10 days regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not.

* 9 countries (South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Malawi, and Nigeria) are re-listed as closed watched nations, subject to visa restrictions and tougher quarantine requirements. 

In addition, a strengthened quarantine exemption system will be applied, and the issuance of the isolation exemption certificate will be minimized by limiting to certain purposes such as funerals and official duties.
