SEOUL, Feb. 10 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will resume issuance of short-term visas for travelers from China on Saturday, a ranking government official said.
The government made the decision as China's COVID-19 infection wave has peaked and begun to subside, Kim Seong-ho, a interior ministry official, said during a government meeting.
On Jan. 2, South Korea tightened curbs on travelers from China amid a surge in COVID-19 infections in the neighboring nation, halting the issuance of short-term visas from its diplomatic missions in China.
