IMPACT – HIGH

Shenzhen is the latest Chinese city to require incoming travelers to undergo observation for the COVID-19 virus. Policies in other Chinese cities are as follows:

  • All travelers arriving in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangdong are subject to a 14-day concentrated medical observation as well as a nucleic acid test.
  • Travelers under 14 and over 70, pregnant or these with medical conditions can request home quarantine after strict assessment.
  • Diplomats and those working in fields of important economic and trade, scientific and technological cooperation will be subject to a different set of regulations.
