There are some recent cases that we have to pay attention to. Several people from the United States and Europe were hindered in the process of returning home through South Korea. The embassy reminds that friends who are transferring back to China need to do their homework in advance. Some airports do not have nucleic acid tests and require passengers to provide them.
According to the WeChat public account of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea, many Chinese citizens in the United States and Europe have recently chosen to transfer back home via Incheon Airport in South Korea. Such people have accounted for a large portion of the tickets of various airlines. 80-90%. Some passengers have not done enough homework in advance, especially those who have recently tried to transfer to third destinations in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macao via Incheon Airport. Some passengers are unable to provide the nucleic acid test certificate required by the place of destination (there is no testing service in the transit area of ??South Korea's Incheon Airport). Because the place of destination did not allow Chinese citizens to transit, they were stranded in the transit area of ??Incheon Airport or were repatriated to the place of departure.
