[International Travel] Quarantine Time Reduced to 5+3 and More Changes

Today, November 11, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council released the “Notice on Further Optimization of the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Measures Scientific and Precise Prevention and Control Work” on the official website of the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China.

Some of the main points are as follows:

· The quarantine period of international arrivals and close contacts is adjusted from "7-day centralized quarantine observation + 3-day home health monitoring" to "5-day centralized quarantine observation + 3-day home health monitoring".

· The authorities will determine close contacts in a timely and accurate manner, and will no longer determine secondary contacts.

· Adjust the "7-day centralized isolation" to "7-day home isolation" for the people in high-risk areas, during which they are assigned a code management and are not allowed to go out.

· The risk areas will be adjusted from "high, medium and low" to "high and low" to minimize the number of control personnel. High-risk areas are generally defined by units and buildings, and may not be expanded at will.

· Eliminate the "circuit breaker" mechanism on inbound flights and adjust 2 negative PCR test certificates within 48 hours prior to boarding to 1 negative PCR test certificate within 48 hours prior to boarding.
