★ All SNU members who plan to (re-)enter Korea must make sure to report their arrival schedule to SNU in advance.
★ After arrival, SNU members must keep in contact with SNU during the entire self-quarantine period and report the date of COVID-19 diagnostic test, its result, and any suspected symptoms.
★ Attached you will find the official quarantine guidelines for foreign students, published by Seoul City Hall, as of February 2.
Before Travel
- All SNU members must inform their arrival schedule to SNU (department office or program office). (See Contact Information.)
* If registered foreigners plan on leaving and re-entering Korea, you must ensure to take a re-entry permit and check whether you can fulfill the re-entry requirement. (See Re-entry Permit.) Also, you must inform your re-entry schedule to SNU, too.
- Effective January 8, 2021 (KST), all foreign passengers arriving in the Republic of Korea must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test.
(Existing) All foreign passengers must conduct a PCR test within 72 hours before departure and submit a negative PCR test during airport quarantine.
(Change as of Jan 29) All foreign passengers must submit a negative PCR test issued within 72 hours before the departure date during airport quarantine.
Airlines will not board passengers without this negative PCR test result. (See more information.)
In-flight
- During the travel, all travelers must wear a facemask all the time and minimize contact or conversation with others.
Upon Arrival
- All inbound travelers will receive temperature screening and must fill out the Health Questionnaire and Special Quarantine Declaration in accordance with the Special Entry Procedure.
- During immigration, local contact information and address of residence in Korea must be verified; officers will dial the number on site to check if it is answered. This information will be used when the local authority contacts you when you are under self-quarantine, so it is required you maintain the contact information until being discharged from the self-quarantine.
* If you do not have a Korean mobile number, please maintain your home country mobile number at least for 14 days upon entry.
- All travelers are required to install the “Self-Quarantine Safety Protection App” on their mobiles and record their health status on a daily basis for 15 consecutive days.

| O Going outside is prohibited. - Visitors (including family members who do not live together) cannot enter the quarantine place. * Where necessary (emergency care, nursing, etc.), visits may be allowed upon confirmation of the local public health service center. O Stay alone in an isolated space. - With the door closed, open the windows as often as possible for ventilation and eat alone. - Use your own bathroom (toilet and sink). * If you have to use a shared bathroom/toilet, disinfect it with disinfectants before others use it. O When inevitable (such as visits to hospital), report the reason you must go out and its estimated schedule to the local public health service center. O Do not contact or converse with family or roommates. - When inevitable, make sure that all parties must wear a mask at all times and do not face each other, maintaining a distance of 2 meters. O All family members and roommates who reside together in the same place must wear a facemask all the time, except when one stays alone in an isolated room. O Use your own stuffs only (towels, tableware, mobile phone, etc.). - Laundry (clothes and blankets, etc.) must be handled individually. - Tableware (spoons, chopsticks, forks, etc.) must be separated and wash them before others use them. O Make sure to follow COVID-19 prevention guideline. - Wash or sterilize your hands as often and thoroughly as possible. - Wear a mask all the time if you have a fever or any respiratory symptoms (coughs, breathing issues, etc.). O Install “self-monitoring app”. * If you do not follow the quarantine policy (e.g. unauthorized travels during the quarantine period), you will be required to wear a wrist band that synchronizes with the app; if you refuse to, you will be forced to be isolated in the designated facility. In case you refuse to install the app or do not own a mobile phone, you may be isolated too. (Accommodation fee may be charged.) O Wastes from the room where the quarantine subject stays must not be recycled together with other wastes, but processed in compliance with the waste management guideline. |
| During the self-quarantine period, your local public health center will contact you to check your symptoms. You are required to self-monitor your health status until it exceeds 14 days from the date you contacted the confirmed case, in the following way: O How exactly do we self-monitor ourselves? - You should measure your body temperature and monitor if you have developed any suspected symptoms every morning and evening. - The local public health center will contact you more than once a day and you should report any symptoms you have. O What kind of symptoms may develop? - Fever (higher than 37.5℃), coughs, breathing difficulties, chill, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, loss of auditory/olfactory senses or pneumonia are major symptoms of COVID-19. - Other symptoms may include fatigue, loss of appetite, phlegm, digestive symptoms (missing, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.), chaotic feeling, dizziness, runny nose or nasal congestion, glands, chest pains, conjunctivitis, skin symptoms, etc. |
