SEOUL: South Korea will end the pre-departure COVID-19 test rule for travellers to the country starting on Saturday (Sept 3), Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday.
South Korea lifted most of its pandemic-related restrictions in May but has maintained some of the strictest border measures among major economies, requiring inbound travellers to present a negative coronavirus test result taken before departure.
Daily COVID-19 infections in the country have been hovering around 100,000 in recent weeks after reaching more than 180,000 in mid-August.
