Quarantine time shortened for inbound travelers

Some Chinese cities have shortened the quarantine time for inbound travelers, according to Health Times.

Cities such as Beijing, Wuhan of Hubei province and Nanjing of Jiangsu province now require seven days of centralized quarantine in hotels - compared with 14 days previously - and seven more days at home, the newspaper reported.

According to the State Council app, the rule also applies to travelers entering the country through cities such as Wuxi and Changzhou in Jiangsu province.

Inbound travelers arriving in cities, including Chengdu of Sichuan province and Xiamen of Fujian province, must undergo a 10-day quarantine at hotels and another seven days at home.

As the entry policies may change in different cities, travelers should find out the latest information or dial the local government hotline.
