China Announces Lifting Of Entry Quarantine Measures

China has canceled the quarantine management of people entering the country, and announced that it will no longer implement quarantine measures for people infected with the new crown in the country. Authorities also announced that the name “new crown pneumonia” will be changed to “novel coronavirus infection”.

China’s National Health Commission said in a statement that passengers going to China will not need to apply for a health code and be quarantined upon entry, but will need to undergo a nucleic acid test 48 hours before departure.

Authorities will also facilitate visas for foreigners coming to China, cancel control measures on the number of international passenger flights, and gradually resume outbound travel for Chinese citizens, the statement said.

The move marks that China will gradually lift the strict border blockade that has been in place for nearly three years, and it also means that China is further turning to “coexisting with the virus”.

According to the current epidemic prevention policy, passengers going to China still need to be quarantined in a government-designated quarantine point for 5 days and stay at home for 3 days.

The implementation of the above measures is conducive to the development of international trade, but also brings certain challenges and difficulties. Our KooFex is with you, welcome to China
