[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] On the 27th, the government urged overseas arrivals to "actively use private cars for returning home." For arrivals who find it difficult to use private cars, dedicated buses and trains have been prepared.

Yoon Tae-ho, head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters' quarantine team, said at a regular briefing held at the Government Complex Sejong on the morning of the 26th, "From the 28th, transportation support for overseas arrivals will be provided," emphasizing this plan.

Yoon stated, "We strongly recommend that overseas arrivals from Europe, the United States, and other regions use private cars to return home," adding, "If using a private car is difficult, we plan to support the use of dedicated buses and trains."

The government plans to guide arrivals using private cars along the shortest route to the airport parking lot.

For arrivals not using private cars, measures have been prepared by dividing them into the metropolitan area and other regions. Airport bus and KTX fares will be borne by users at the usual rates.

Arrivals residing in the metropolitan area will be transported by dedicated airport limousine buses to 16 major hub areas including Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, and then return home using private cars or other means.

Arrivals residing outside the metropolitan area will first be transported by airport bus to Gwangmyeong Station, then move to regional hub stations using dedicated KTX cars, and return home by private car or receive separate transportation support from local governments.
