South Korea and Singapore mull travel bubble in July
Share
South Korea is talking with Singapore about opening its first travel bubble in July, which would allow vaccinated travelers on direct flights to by-pass quarantine. Health officials said the country has also proposed bubbles with Taiwan, Thailand and the US Pacific territories of Guam and Saipan as they look to ease pandemic-related travelling restrictions to revive ailing tourism and airline industries.
South Korea currently mandates two-week quarantines on most passengers arriving from abroad. Senior Health Ministry official Yoon Taeho said the country will initially open its travel bubbles only to fully vaccinated travelers arriving on direct flights and group tours who could be monitored by their travel agencies. To by-pass quarantine, bubble travellers must have vaccination documents and be cleared by Covid-19 tests upon arrival.

TOKYO â Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga says he is aiming to have everyone in the country vaccinated by November, a target he set with a general election scheduled for later this year.
Suga called vaccines âa trump cardâ of anti-virus measures and said Wednesday: âI want vaccines to be given by the October-November period to all the people who want to be vaccinated.â
The prime minister is desperately pushing to accelerate Japan s COVID-19 vaccine program ahead of the Summer Olympics, which are scheduled to be held in Tokyo from July 23 to Aug. 8.
Suga is seeking to have 1 million shots administered a day so all of the country s 36 million older adults will be fully vaccinated by the end of July. He also urged major companies to prepare to start vaccinating their employees later this month to accelerate the process ahead of the Olympics.
