Article 16 of the "Master Plan" also emphasizes that the outbound tourism of Chinese citizens will be resumed in an orderly manner, which is mainly divided into five major points:
. You can return to the country if you have a 48-hour PCR negative
People coming to China will undergo a nucleic acid test 48 hours before departure. Those who test negative can come to China without applying for a health code from our embassy or consulate abroad. The results will be filled in the customs health declaration card. If tested positive, relevant personnel should wait until they turn negative before coming to China.
. There is no need to quarantine after entry.
The nucleic acid testing and centralized isolation of all personnel after entry will be cancelled. Those who have normal health declarations and no abnormalities in routine quarantine at the customs port can be released into the public.
. Cancel the "Five Ones" flight restriction policy
Cancel the "Five Ones" and passenger load factor restrictions and other international passenger flight quantity control measures.
. All airlines continue to take preventive measures on board the aircraft and passengers must wear masks when boarding.
, Resumption of work and production
Further optimize arrangements for foreigners coming to China for resumption of work and production, business, study abroad, family visits, reunions, etc., and provide corresponding visa convenience. Gradually resume passenger transport through waterways and land ports. Based on the international epidemic situation and the service support capabilities of all aspects, outbound travel by Chinese citizens will be resumed in an orderly manner.

Foreigners can finally go to China to visit their relatives and friends at any time, and no longer have to worry about long quarantine times, air tickets being cut off, etc.!
