Korean and Chinese govts mull fast entry policy for businessmen

South Koreans and Chinese may soon be exempted from a two-week quarantine or self-isolation if they make business visits to each other countries carrying negative coronavirus certificate, the Korean government announced.

Other governments may follow suit to renew border-crossing business activities that have come to a halt due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

“The governments of South Korea and China are in talks to operate a fast-track policy called ‘Green Lane’ to allow authorized businessmen from both countries to do business activities right away upon arrival,” Korean ambassador to China Jang Ha-sung said during a regular briefing at the Korean embassy in China on Monday.

“Business people who submit a medical certificate proving a negative COVID-19 test result will be exempt from quarantine and allowed to do their work immediately if they test negative again after a retest.”

The fast-track will be established with 10 Chinese cities, but the local governments in China will clarify exact regions after arranging a specific plan, he said. “China’s economic stimulus measures after COVID-19 will present opportunities to Korean companies,” he said, adding that he plans to hold a Korea-China network event in Hubei Province as soon as the outbreak fully abates.
