오늘부터 해외유입 외국인 확진자, 수칙위반시 치료비 전액 부담

Starting Monday,... foreign nationals entering South Korea who are COVID-19 positive will have to pay for their own treatment if they violate quarantine rules.
That's according to KCDC, which announced the change in policy for foreigners who are confirmed to have the virus upon entry or during the mandatory self-quarantine period.
If they violate relevant measures including orders by quarantine authorities,... or submit fabricated test results, they will have to bear the full cost of their treatment in the country.
