“Citizens are recommended to cancel or postpone non-essential trips abroad until December 13, as the rise of variant cases in many countries poses risks to their health,” Yonhap news agency quoted the ministry as saying.
The travel advisory was first imposed in March and has been extended every month as many countries struggle with the outbreaks of various Covid-19 variants and continue to restrict the entry of people arriving from overseas.
The ministry said it will consult with health authorities and foreign embassies to ease some of the travel restrictions in phases, depending on the scope of recent outbreaks, the vaccination rate and quarantine measures in foreign nations.
