On December 8, according to Korean media reports, South Korea amended the "Agricultural and Fishery Products Quality Management Act Implementation Order", the main contents of which are as follows:

When the spread of infectious diseases such as the new crown pneumonia or natural disasters is inevitable, the sanitary inspection cycle of registered production and processing facilities (ships) for exporting aquatic products will be adjusted to avoid problems such as export interruption.

In addition, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of South Korea will also improve the administrative penalties for sanitary inspection results of aquatic products production and processing facilities, and will not impose administrative penalties on minor violations such as the absence of hand soap, but instead order operators to make improvements to the point where corrective measures can be taken The extent of this so that measures can be taken quickly. However, if there are more than 3 minor violations, the same administrative penalties will be imposed as before the revision of the regulations.
