Guangdong Province, China Implements Full 14-Day Quarantine for Arrivals from Korea

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Park Sun-mi] The Guangdong Provincial Government in China will fully implement a 14-day quarantine measure for arrivals from Korea.

According to the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Guangzhou on the 2nd, the Guangdong Provincial Government announced that from this day forward, all visitors arriving in Guangdong Province (Guangzhou and Shenzhen airports and ports) from Korea, regardless of nationality, will be subject to a full 14-day quarantine.

Those arriving in Guangdong Province from Korea will be moved to a separate location (nearby hotels, etc.) upon arrival for nucleic acid testing. If the test result is negative, they will be quarantined for 14 days at a designated hotel, and no additional self-quarantine will be required after the 14-day hotel quarantine. If the test result is positive, they will be transferred to a designated hospital.

The time required for testing and obtaining results is about 1 to 2 days. The designated hotel varies depending on the local government jurisdiction (city, district, county) of the residence, and quarantine costs are self-paid.

Regarding the self-payment of quarantine costs, the Consulate General is strongly protesting to the Guangdong Provincial Government. The Consulate General stated, "If there are any changes regarding the costs in the future, we will notify again," and urged, "All those planning to visit Guangdong Province are asked to reconsider their visit unless it is an urgent matter until the situation changes."
