South Koreans wait to go through quarantine by Chinese health authorities at Nanjin International Airport in China on Tuesday. A dozen additional countries and parts of China have enacted entry restrictions on travelers from South Korea over coronavirus concerns, according to the foreign ministry Thursday, bringing the total number of such countries to 43. The U.S. State Department has raised its travel warning for South Korea by one notch to Level 3, the second-highest on a four-tier scale, Yonhap reports. The U.S. has not put any entry restrictions from travelers from South Korea, however. South Korea has seen a rapid rise in the number of coronavirus cases in recent weeks.
