South Korea’s travel restrictions were observed to be consistently more lagged in terms of timeliness and magnitude, with their first wave of travel restrictions on flights departing from China implemented 34 days after the outbreak in Wuhan, compared to 22–26 days taken by Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Trends on imported and local cases were analyzed using computations of moving averages, rate of change, particularly in response to distinct waves of travel-related interventions due to the outbreak in China, South Korea, Iran & Italy, and Europe. Data on COVID-19 cases, travel-related and community interventions, socio-economic profile were consolidated. MethodĪ comparative analysis was conducted on Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea’s COVID-19 response. It remains unclear if the trade-off from the unprecedented disruption to air travel was well worth for pandemic containment. Most restrictions currently persist, although some have been gradually eased. The COVID-19 pandemic has elicited imposition of some form of travel restrictions by almost all countries in the world.
