The two Koreas have agreed to shut down a jointly-run liaison office at Kaesong until the threat of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is "completely resolved," Seoul's Ministry of Unification (MOU) said in a statement on Thursday.
The move, which follows Pyongyang's earlier moves to ban all international tourism and institute a one-month quarantine on foreigners visiting from China, will see South Korean staff based at the office forced to return home as early as possible.
