To be exempted from the quarantine rule, travelers have to be fully vaccinated at least two weeks before traveling to South Korea. They also have to be inoculated with vaccines approved by the World Health Organization -- Pfizer, Janssen, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Covidshield, Sinopharm or Sinovac.
All travelers also need to submit a negative COVID-19 PCR test result issued within 72 hours of departure, according to the Korea Herald.
