IMPACT – HIGH

All travelers entering Shanghai and Chengdu are required to undergo 14 days of concentrated medical observation.

Key Points:

  • Travelers entering Shanghai from abroad must undergo 14 days of concentrated medical observation. Travelers currently in home quarantine should instead undergo concentrated medical observation.
  • Diplomats and those traveling to Shanghai to undertake important technical, economic, or scientific work will be subject to different requirements. Travelers who are under 18, over 60, pregnant or with medical conditions may be permitted to undergo home quarantine following strict assessment and a negative result from COVID-19 testing.
  • Travelers entering Chengdu from abroad or from another Chinese port of entry must undergo 14 days of concentrated medical observation.
  • Travelers arriving in Chengdu whose ultimate destination is another city in the Sichuan Province should undergo medical observation in their destination city.
  • Travelers arriving in Chengdu whose ultimate destination is another province should undergo medical observation in Chengdu.

Background: The new medical observation requirement follows similar policies recently implemented in other provinces and cities in China.
