The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said Thursday that it is removing Vietnam, Myanmar, and Ukraine from its list of countries subject to strict COVID-19 control measures.
KDCA Commissioner Jeong Eun-kyung said South Korea plans to flexibly operate its system for granting quarantine exemptions for countries based on their current risk level.
