Seoul can’t help but question if Tokyo has other motives than containing outbreak. FMTNews SouthKorea Virus
SEOUL: Seoul will summon Japan’s ambassador to protest over “irrational” plans to impose coronavirus quarantine on arrivals from South Korea, it said Friday, accusing Tokyo of ulterior motives.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday announced that foreign arrivals who have recently been in China or South Korea would be required to spend 14 days in quarantine. Around 40 countries and regions have imposed entry bans on foreigners who have recently been in the South, while more than 20 require quarantine, as do several parts of China.
Over 90% of South Korea’s cases are in the southern city of Daegu – with more than 4,600 cases confirmed there – and the neighbouring North Gyeongsang province.
