Singaporean family catches Covid-19 during vacation, additional 18 days in South Korea cost them extra $7,000
JANUARY 29, 2022
When the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) agreement between Singapore and South Korea was signed last October, it got many Singaporeans excited to finally have a taste of travel again.
A Singaporean woman and her family had planned for an eight-day vacation to South Korea, from Dec 4 to 11 last year.
However, it turned out to be a 26-day stay after she and her 12-year-old son tested positive for Covid-19 in Seoul. Her husband, who tested negative, had to self isolate for an extra seven days in South Korea.
The additional expenses amounted to about $7,000, almost double the initial $8,000 they'd planned for the trip.
The 40-year-old woman, who was given the pseudonym 'Cheryl' in the 8days report, told the magazine of her ordeal in Seoul, beginning with the jarring difference between pre-pandemic and post-pandemic travel.
