You are right. It was the British embassy that put the most pressure on Seoul to reverse the decision. Thank you Mr. Ambassador. But I thought Gyeunggi would have enough sense to follow.
I took the test the day I got the notice because I thought if I didn't get it right away the crowds would get worse. No corona in me.
I'm glad Korea offers the tests for free. I'm a little surprised they didn't offer a choice. At least there should be a distinction for resident foriegneers. Diplomacy is very important these days as a lot of people are on edge.
Peace
Yeah. It's been over a year since it arrived in Korea and we're all just tried of it. I decided not to get the test. It's not that I'm against getting tested under normal circumstances. I just don't want to be forced to get one by a mandate that discriminates against foreigners. I feel strongly about it and have made a complaint to the Korean Human Rights Commission. I don't think I'll get fined, but we'll see. Stay safe.
Good move. I saw in the Korean times that it was the petition to the human rights commission that reversed the legislation in Seoul. It looks like mostly a grass roots effort by foriegn teachers.
