China will reduce the mandatory quarantine period for people entering the country and for those who have been in close contact with them as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus. It will be a major overhaul of the “zero corona” policy, which is to completely contain corona infection.
The quarantine period for travelers entering China will be reduced from 10 days to eight days, according to a statement released Wednesday by the National Health Commission. From now on, after five days of solitary confinement in a hotel or public facility, you will be quarantined at home for three days. The current rule is 7 days at the hotel and 3 days at home.
The same reduced quarantine period will apply to close contacts, and close contacts of close contacts will not be identified in the future.
