China's civil aviation regulator has decided to suspend Covid-19 travel restrictions as of January 8 and has promised to resume international passenger service. Even though the nation is still dealing with a Covid rise that has alarmed the world, China has removed the quarantine rules for visitors.
Even as China continues to open up, travellers from China are now required to provide a negative Covid-19 test at the border for the Netherlands and Portugal. The health ministry stated that the Dutch regulations, which will take effect on Tuesday, are in line with suggestions made by the European Union.
For the first time since placing limits on overseas travel in March 2020, China has reopened its borders to travellers from outside.
As the nation fights a surge in cases, there will be no longer be a requirement for incoming travellers to quarantine, marking a dramatic shift in the Covid policy.
They will still demand documentation of a PCR test that was negative and performed within 48 hours of the trip.
Many people who are ready to reunite with family have welcomed the move.
In the upcoming weeks, 400,000 individuals from Hong Kong are anticipated to fly into locations like Beijing and Xiamen, where there would be lengthy lines for flights.
On Sunday, double decker buses full of people arrived at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to board buses to the Guangdong province, including college students going home.
The reopening of the nation coincides with the beginning of "chun yun," the first travel season during the Lunar New Year. It was the largest yearly global migration of individuals going home to visit relatives prior to the epidemic.
This Lunar New Year, two billion trips are anticipated, which is twice as many as in 2021.
China reopens its borders to the world today. For the past 1,016 days you had to quarantine for up to 3 weeks upon arrival. Now you should be able to freely walk out of the airport. I’m giving it a shot this morning. The HK airport is packed! pic.twitter.com/d0pvbY38wu
