South Korea has agreed with Singapore, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to ease cross-border travel regulations to maintain the global supply chain.
The said countries decided via a virtual meeting, attended by Trade Minister Yoo Myung-hee, to draft guidelines that would allow travel on an exceptional basis, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy.
The countries also emphasized that their efforts would not undermine quarantine efforts to tackle coronavirus.
