All overseas arrivals in Shanghai must now undergo central quarantine

All inbound passengers from overseas arriving in Shanghai will be required to undergo 14-day quarantine for medical observation at designated spots from Saturday, the city's coronavirus disease prevention and control authorities announced on Friday night.

Those already under home quarantine can continue as normal until their 14-day quarantine period ends, authorities said.

Only seniors, juveniles, pregnant women, people with physical disabilities, those who need to take care of the elderly or children, or those who have underlying diseases are allowed to apply for quarantine at home, authorities said.

Strict review will be implemented before they are allowed to undergo quarantine at home, authorities said.

All inbound passengers will also be required to undergo nucleic acid tests before being sent to quarantine, or into a medical facility if the result is positive.

Inbound diplomats and personnel involved in important economic and trade, scientific research and technology cooperation from overseas will follow other regulations, authorities said.
