China to Ease Travel Requirements for Arriving Passengers

Beginning January 8, China will no longer require incoming travelers to quarantine. The previous restrictions required travelers to quarantine for five days at a hotel and three days at home. Incoming travelers will still be required to wear a facemask on planes and provide a negative Covid-19 test 48 hours before their departure, however.

From Just the News:

The restrictions have prevented many Chinese from traveling abroad and reduced the number of foreign visitors. The health agency said it would be easier for foreigners to enter, and it indicated that gradually, Chinese will be able to travel abroad for tourism.

Many of China's pandemic restrictions were dropped over the past few weeks following mass protests against the government's zero-COVID policies.
