South Korea plans to gradually lift restrictions on arrivals of migrant workers prompted by the pandemic starting later this month as the country has begun to take steps to return to normalcy, reports The Korea Herald. Labour minister An Kyung-duk said, “In light of the shift to 'living with COVID-19' scheme, we're going to push for a measure to gradually ease entry restrictions on foreign workers.” All foreign workers will be allowed to enter the country if they are confirmed to have been vaccinated back home and have negative results in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, and the cap on daily and weekly arrivals of migrant workers will also be removed, the minister added. South Korea has only allowed a limited number of migrant workers from certain countries to enter the country amid the pandemic due to virus concerns.
