In addition, the last traveler is also required to show a negative result of only one COVID-19 screening within 48 hours of boarding a flight to China, compared to the two previous tests.
The new regulations also define 'essential commercial personnel' and 'sports groups' as examples of privileged groups being allowed to be quarantined while they are in a 'closed environment' that is safe from the virus, for the duration of their stay in China.
According to the notice, the mechanism called 'circuit breaker' on flights entering China will also be abolished, as well as completing the grounds that witness the temporary cancellation of flight traffic if a certain number of passengers are found to be positive for COVID-19.
Also eradicated now is the need to identify and isolate 'second close contacts', i.e. those who may have had contact with the individual infected with the virus.
The local COVID-19 risk system was also reduced from three to two levels, i.e. areas labeled as 'high risk' and subject to barriers, or 'low risk' with minimum barriers.
Those traveling from high-risk areas to low-risk areas will also be required to undergo seven days of self-isolation at home, rather than in a quarantine centre.
