China to ease inbound and outbound travel restrictions

China will no longer subject inbound travellers to quarantine from early next month. The move puts the country on track to emerge from three years of self-imposed global isolation under a “Covid Zero” policy that battered the economy and stoked historic public discontent.

The country also downgraded the management of COVID-19 from the highest level to the second highest, in effect removing the legal justification for aggressive Covid Zero restrictions. Still, the National Health Commission said it would continue to monitor the virus’s spread and vowed to take appropriate measures to suppress the peak of COVID-19 outbreaks.

The Health Commission also said China would enhance the treatment of severe patients by boosting the supply of life-saving medical devices, such as ventilators, and the capacity of intensive care units. It would also repurpose quarantine facilities into hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients.“The new coronavirus will linger in nature for a long time to come,” according to the statement.

Easier travel into and out of China is likely to benefit the many countries across the globe that rely on Chinese tourists. The recent loosening of testing and isolation requirements for travel within China may also boost domestic tourism revenue, which declined 26 per cent over the week-long National Day holiday in October, compared with the same period last year.
