This policy change aims to reduce overcrowding and mitigate COVID-19 transmission risks, as the station has attracted many people from neighboring provinces.
Until July 31st, walk-in priority is given to individuals over 60, weighing over 100kg, and pregnant women.
The Public Health Ministry also urged all provinces to accelerate their mass vaccination efforts to achieve national inoculation targets.
