COVID Rules when traveling to Korea from The United States

Traveling to Korea from the United States
Those traveling to Korea from the United States can take their COVID test at the airport. This is because a vast majority of US Airports have COVID test centers at the terminal. Make sure you check out the airport website to see if these tests are offered. Every testing site is different. For example, some take your sample and test it right there at the airport.
