The most eye-catching thing is that "the quarantine time for close contacts and immigrants is shortened to 7+3." What do you think?
1. The latest quarantine policy for overseas personnel returning to the country 2022
According to the ninth version of the new coronavirus prevention and control plan released by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on June 28, 2022, optimizes and adjusts the isolation management period and methods of risk personnel. Let’s take a look. Check out the latest regulations on quarantine for overseas travelers returning to the country!
1. First, the quarantine time is shortened.
The quarantine control time for immigrants has been adjusted from "14 days of centralized isolation medical observation + 7 days of home health monitoring" to "7 days of centralized isolation medical observation + 3 days of home health monitoring."
2. The second is nucleic acid testing measures
were adjusted from "nucleic acid testing on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 14th days of centralized isolation medical observation, collecting nasopharyngeal swabs, and double sampling and testing before lifting the isolation" to "centralized isolation medical observation on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 14th days" Nucleic acid testing will be conducted on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and the 3rd day of home health monitoring, and oropharyngeal swabs " will be collected. Dual collection and testing are not required before the centralized isolation medical observation is lifted.
2. How many days will overseas personnel need to be quarantined when returning to China in 2022?
Overseas personnel returning to the country need to be quarantined for 7 days, and they need to undergo home health monitoring for another 3 days after returning home. Previously, overseas personnel returning to the country were required to be quarantined for 14 days. Some netizens expressed support for the relaxation of the isolation policy for overseas personnel, while some expressed opposition. They felt that the quarantine policy for returnees from overseas could not be relaxed because the domestic clearing was the most feared. It's the infection from abroad. Overseas import is also a top priority, and I believe this adjustment is justified. The following brings the standards for the demarcation of unified lockdown control areas and medium- and high-risk areas as follows:
1. The high-risk area
implements "door-to-door service without leaving home". If there are no new infections for 7 consecutive days, it will be reduced to a medium-risk area. If there are no new infections for 3 consecutive days, the area will be reduced to a low-risk area.
2. The medium-risk area
implements "staying in the area and picking up items at staggered peaks". There have been no new infections for 7 consecutive days and it has been reduced to a low-risk area.
3. Low-risk areas
refers to other areas in counties (cities, districts, banners) where medium- and high-risk areas are located, where "personal protection and avoidance of gatherings" are implemented. In other areas, people who have traveled to low-risk areas in the past seven days are required to complete two nucleic acid tests within three days.
Generally speaking, the latest quarantine policy for overseas personnel returning to the country in 2022 has been relaxed, from the previous 14 days of centralized quarantine to 7 days.
