Covid-19 PCR test for all entrants to South Korea will not be required as of Oct. 1. Currently, it is a must for all arrivals to take PCR tests within 24 hours of their entry. With the removal of the mandatory entry PCR test, South Korea has eased most Covid-19 restrictions including mask wearing. Face-to-face, contact meetings with visitors will also be allowed for patients in care hospitals from Oct. 4.
