Background: South Korea did not implement rigorous border control in response to the coronavirus outbreak in China. As a result, in just a short period of time, the number of confirmed COVID-19 virus infected patients in South Korea has exceeded 5,000. Many Chinese in South Korea have chosen to return to China. Those arriving from South Korea at a Chinese airport are taken directly to a local quarantine site for a 14-day isolation.
