[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The government extended the special travel advisory for all countries and regions overseas travel, which was issued on the 15th due to the spread of COVID-19, until August 14.


The special travel advisory is issued for urgent short-term risks and corresponds to travel alert level 2 (travel caution) or higher and level 3 (recommendation to evacuate) or lower.


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs decided to extend it again this time, considering the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19 and the spread of variant viruses, as well as the fact that many countries still restrict entry.



The government has been continuously extending the special travel advisory since it was first issued on March 23 last year.
