The special travel advisory corresponds to Level 2.5 on Korea's four-level travel alert system. It is issued by the government in cases of urgent security risks to travelers and can be maintained for up to 90 days.
The ministry urged Korean citizens to cancel or postpone their trips to Tanzania and for those living there to flee to a safe country unless for urgent matters.
