[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 9th, one day before the expansion of the quarantine pass to department stores and large supermarkets, customers visiting Yangjae Hanara-ro Mart in Seocho-gu, Seoul, are verifying their vaccination status through QR codes before entering the mart.

Starting from the 10th, vaccination status must be confirmed via QR code. Alternatively, a negative PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test certificate issued within the last 48 hours must be presented.

In addition, exceptions to the quarantine pass include those who have recovered from COVID-19 or have medical reasons; they must submit a quarantine release certificate or an exemption certificate. Without such certificates, unvaccinated individuals cannot use large-scale stores even if alone.

However, children and adolescents under the age of 18 are exempt from the quarantine pass and can use large-scale stores regardless of vaccination status.
