신규확진 6만5433명... 내일부터 입국 1일차에 PCR 검사…해외유입 증가에 방역 강화 Starting tomorrow, people arriving in South Korea from overseas will be required to take a PCR test for COVID-19 on the day they arrive... as part of efforts to prevent the further spread during summer vacation season. The rules for overseas arrivals had been eased last month, giving them up to 3 days to take a test. But the rules have been tightened again as South Korea deals with another wave of the virus. Since late June,... the BA-5 variant,... now dominant,... has been spreading quickly. Today, new cases came to more than 65-thousand, which is the highest for a Sunday in about three months. Of those new cases, about 330 were from overseas. #COVID19 #SouthKorea #PCR_Test 📣 Arirang News(Facebook) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Arirang News(Twitter) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 News Center(YouTube) :    / newscenter_arirangtv   2022-07-24, 12:00 (KST)
