China and South Korea on Wednesday have agreed to allow a fast-track entry for business people between two countries to mainly facilitate trade-related personnel and ensure the smooth operation of industrial and supply chains, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said at a regular press conference on Thursday.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19, China and South Korea have been jointly in battle against the epidemic, continuously cooperating on the delivery of epidemic prevention materials and maintaining a record of transmitting zero COVID-19 cases to each other, Geng said.

Geng introduced that the first batch of 10 provinces and cities in China will allow for fast-track entry and the relevant Korean personnel can enter the city after going through the health screening and quarantine measures.
