All Visitors from Europe to Korea to Be Tested for Coronavirus
On top of the coronavirus test they will also be held in quarantine for 14 days:
South Korea on Sunday began conducting new coronavirus tests on all arrivals from Europe and requiring even those with negative results to undergo a 14-day self-quarantine as part of efforts to prevent any inflow of the virus from outside.
Starting at midnight, the government set in motion the screening measure for both its citizens and foreigners, amid growing concerns over a steady rise in the number of imported COVID-19 cases.
On Sunday, more than 8,510 people are to arrive in Korea from overseas. Of them, about 1,000 are from Europe, which has become a new front line in the global fight against the virus, with Italy having clocked more than 4,820 deaths.

So a friend dropped me a message on facebook asking if I thought homemade cloth masks would help out medical facilities. I started to write back about OSHA guidelines would never allow that, yada yada….but before sending I just thought I’d check. Sure enough, medical clinics in CO springs are asking for homemade masks. “Anything will work better than nothing! Even a strip of fabric with a string to go around the ears”
Wasn’t it just a couple of weeks back the CDC was claiming masks didn’t work at all?
“Masks don’t work so stop buying and leave these non-functioning masks for your medical providers!”
Still…never thought I’d see the day of homemade masks. In the US…outside of months after an EMP attack or something.
Reagan’s quote is so deadly accurate: “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
