On March 3, regulations were introduced asking people traveling to Beijing from a select list of countries to quarantine themselves at home or to stay at one of the city’s designated quarantine centers for 14 days. This was adjusted on March 16 to require anyone entering Beijing to undergo close quarantine observation.

Deeper analyses found that people continued to violate quarantine rules by traveling in and out of virus-hit countries to keep their “daigou” operations up and running. Therefore, any resident in mainland China who attempts to leave the country within the specified period of self-isolation will be prohibited from leaving the country and face legal consequences, border inspection authorities announced.

In the case of foreign travelers who left China and attempt to re-enter within the same specific period of isolation, Beijing authorities reserve the legal right to refuse entry and send them back to their home country.
