SEOUL — South Korean police found on Thursday a Chinese man who went missing after testing positive for COVID-19 upon arrival, and said he would be taken to a quarantine facility and could later be charged under a disease control law. The man’s disappearance after testing positive for COVID upon arrival at Incheon airport on Tuesday and being ordered into quarantine raised concern about increasing infections after China abandoned a tough “zero-COVID” policy and prepares to scrap travel restrictions as its cases rapidly increase.”The person was found at a hotel in Seoul this afternoon,” a police officer said, adding the man in his 40s would be taken to a facility to spend the stipulated seven days in quarantine.
