China will consider reciprocal measures on travelers from South Korea: FM spokesperson

(ECNS) -- China will take corresponding steps at an appropriate time for travelers from South Korea, said a spokesperson at the regular press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin make the remarks after South Korea's central prevention and countermeasures headquarters announced it would lift a post-arrival test requirement for travelers from China next month as the COVID-19 situation stabilized.

Travelers from China have been required to take polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests after arrival in South Korea since early January. But from March 1, the post-arrival test requirement will be lifted.
