for the first time since the COVID-19 epidemic, many places in China have contracted the entry isolation time on a large scale.
According to incomplete statistics from "Finance·Big Health", as of 12:00 on June 19, 2022, the quarantine time for incoming personnel in Beijing, Wuxi , Changzhou , Xuzhou , Baoding and other places has been shortened.
At the same time, in the international flight circuit breaking rules, the data statistics cycle of confirmed new crown cases was shortened. The new rule is to count the number of confirmed cases within five days of flight arrival. If positive infections appear on the sixth and seventh day, the flight will no longer be affected.
Lin Zhijie, an insider of China's civil aviation industry, analyzed to "Finance·Big Health" that the adjustment of the policy of is actually an upgrade of the " Omickron " mutant strain, because Omickron's incubation period is shorter, about two to three days, so the entry-to-entry isolation abroad is still based on the original "14+7", which is not necessarily necessary, and in fact it will also increase the risk of quarantine hotel transmission. He believes that shortening the cycle of flight circuit breaker data is also the same consideration, and it can also improve the effectiveness of policies and facilitate passengers to return to China.
Why did the quarantine policy change
China has maintained strict border policies for more than two years after the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent the spread of the imported virus. The entry quarantine policy that
has been implemented is that people entering the Chinese port by plane need to be isolated at a designated location for 14 days, and then undergo strict home isolation for seven days. According to regulations, nucleic acid testing must be performed.
The new trial isolation policy is that, for example, the quarantine time of incoming people in Beijing has been adjusted from the previous "14+7" to "10+7", that is, 10 days of centralized isolation + 7 days of home isolation, shortening the four-day centralized isolation time.
The quarantine time for incoming personnel in Wuxi, Changzhou, Xuzhou, Baoding and other places has been adjusted from the original "14+7" to "7+7", that is, 7 days of centralized quarantine + 7 days of home isolation, shortening the seven-day centralized quarantine time.
At present, at least eight places have piloted to shorten the centralized isolation time. This wave of policy adjustments in
This wave of policy adjustments is similar to the previous idea of China cutting off the local epidemic. On May 13, Wu Hao, head of the community prevention and control expert group of the National Health Commission responding to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, mentioned at the press conference that the Omickron epidemic is different from the previous epidemic, especially in its fast transmission speed, short incubation period and strong concealment. In view of the new characteristics of the Omickron epidemic, the time for closure, control and control will be further accelerated, and the time for centralized isolation will be shortened. Beijing has shortened the centralized isolation of close contacts from the past 14 days to 10 days.
As a result, passengers at the entry port in Beijing were adjusted to implement "10-day centralized quarantine + 7-day home quarantine". , that is, after the 10-day centralized quarantine period expires, if the destination is Beijing, it needs to be transferred to the community in a closed loop and implemented 7 days of home isolation. If there is no fixed residence in Beijing and does not meet the conditions for home isolation, it will continue to be implemented 4 days of centralized quarantine; if the destination is not Beijing, it will be necessary to continue to be implemented 4 days of centralized quarantine before leaving Beijing.
If you enter the country from other ports, if you have been quarantined locally for 14 days, you can refer to the domestic personnel policy to enter Beijing.
Lin Zhijie believes that the entry isolation policy of can not only help improve the passenger experience and save passengers' isolation time, but also release more resources in quarantine hotels and increase the capacity to receive returning people.
Regular international passenger flights will increase
signs of relaxation of international flights. First, the flight circuit breaker mechanism is adjusted; second, the increase of international flights.
has been adjusted from June 1 to trial. The original number of confirmed cases within one week of the flight landing has triggered a circuit breaker, and it has changed to 5 confirmed cases within five days of the flight landing has triggered a circuit breaker. This means that the number of infected people appearing on the sixth and seventh day is not included in the number of infections, reducing the probability of circuit breaking on flights back to China. The flight circuit breaker rule before
is that if five or more positive infections occur within seven days of arrival in China, the Civil Aviation Administration will require airlines with cases to suspend routes involving the epidemic for two weeks; if the number of positive infections reaches 10, the suspension period will be four weeks.
Lin Zhijie analyzed that the optimization of the flight circuit breaker policy of can also reduce flight circuit breaker to a certain extent, which is conducive to the increase of flights back to China. This is beneficial to reducing the price of international air tickets and facilitating passengers' return to China.
Since March 2020, international flights have implemented the "five ones" policy, namely, one airline, one country, one route, one Monday flight. That is, each domestic airline can only retain one route to any country, and each route can not operate more than one flight per week; each foreign airline can only retain one route to China, and the weekly operation time cannot exceed one flight per week.
Civil Aviation Network According to the statistics of the June flight schedule of each airline announced by the Civil Aviation Administration, Air China can perform a total of 17 international routes per week; China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines can perform a total of 19 international routes per week; China Southern Airlines can perform a total of 21 international and regional routes per week.
The new trend is that airlines are making adjustments. For example, China Southern Airlines plans to resume seven international routes starting from June, and international flights will increase from the original 36 flights per week to 48 flights per week (the round trip is counted as 2 flights), and the number of countries that are open to the airline will increase from the original 20 to 27.
On June 17, Liang Nan, Director of the Transportation Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said at a regular press conference that at present, under the coordination of the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of , the Civil Aviation Administration of China is negotiating with some countries to gradually and steadily increase regular international passenger flights to meet the needs of personnel exchanges.
