Laws may be revised to enable the deportation of foreign nationals accused of submitting false PCR test results, an entry requirement for travelers from certain countries, in a bid to effectively prevent and control imported COVID-19 cases.
Independent lawmaker Lee Yong-ho said Sunday that he and 10 other lawmakers have proposed a revision bill to the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act, which will enable the deportation of foreigners who have violated immigration or quarantine laws.
Following the quarantine measures implemented by the health authorities in July, foreign arrivals from countries designated by the government as high-risk countries must submit certificates proving they have tested negative for COVID-19 on a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
