Mandatory quarantine for all arrivals from these countries

Inbound travelers from regions affected by COVID-19 to face quarantine in Shanghai

Shanghai authorities have mandated a 14-day quarantine for inbound travelers who have been to South Korea, Italy, Iran and Japan in light of the COVID-19 outbreak in these countries.

The Shanghai Health Commission reiterated the measures for inbound travelers who have been to affected countries and regions during the city's daily briefing on Wednesday. The commission also added that four inbound travelers who tested positive at the customs checkpoint have been transferred to hospitals designated for the treatment of the virus on Tuesday night.

Zeng Qun, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs, added that multi-language notices on China's disease prevention and control policies will be given to foreigners upon arrival. Foreigners who reside in Shanghai are also required to report to their respective community committees.

Zeng said that many neighborhoods have improved steps to cater to their foreign residents. One of the ways they have done is by forming a team comprising of community workers, health officers and volunteers proficient in foreign languages to explain policies and provide updates.
