BEIJING, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Nov, 2022 ) :Some Chinese cities no longer require 48-hour negative test results following the release of 20 measures to optimize COVID-19 response, which include shortened quarantine periods for international arrivals and cancellation of circuit breakers for inbound flights.
East China's Shandong Province, China's second-most populous province with more than 101 million people, has canceled checking of negative COVID-19 test results within 48 hours for people entering Shandong from other provinces. People returning from high-risk regions do not have to go to centralized quarantine zones but should stay at home for seven days, Global Times reported.
The city of Luoyang in Central China's Henan Province is also no longer asking for test results when citizens use public transport or enter public places except schools.
China has also relaxed the previous strict requirements on cross-provincial travel. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced on Tuesday that tourists could travel to other provinces with public transportation if they could present 48-hour negative test results.
All these moves came after China's 20 optimized measures to ease some of the burden in combating COVID-19. The measures included shortened quarantine periods from 7+3 (seven days of centralized quarantine and three days of health observation at home) to 5+3 for international arrivals and close contacts of confirmed cases.
