[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The Ministry of Justice announced that all 13 additional Afghan collaborators and their family members who entered the country tested negative for COVID-19.

They arrived on the 27th at 1:07 PM aboard a military transport aircraft (C-130J), and COVID-19 tests were conducted at the airport. After receiving negative test results, the 13 additional arrivals will be moved to the National Human Resources Development Institute in Jincheon, Chungbuk, that night.

They were separated from the 377 Afghan special contributors who arrived the previous day on an aerial refueling transport aircraft (KC-330) due to lack of seating space.

Meanwhile, the government’s planned total of 390 people entered the country over two days. The Afghan special contributors will undergo a two-week quarantine at the Human Resources Development Institute, followed by six weeks of settlement education.
