30 178 New COVID Cases, 48-hour negative test for tourist spots…

By: David A.Howard

On the morning of November 29th, the Shanghai Health Commission reported 20 local COVID-19 cases, 158 local asymptomatic cases, and 58 imported cases were detected, including 52 asymptomatic cases.

48-hour negative test for tourist spots

Buckle up. Here we go again. China has seen multiple new records for daily COVID cases recently and the count is also on the rise in Shanghai.

As the case count climbs, tourist spots and cultural areas now require a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test for entrance. Pending test results and on-the-spot rapid antigen tests are no longer accepted. These new regulations apply to the following areas:

·Art Galleries

·Museums

·Libraries

·A-Level Tourist Attarctions

·Performance and Entertainment Venues

·Internet Bars

·Restaurants & bars

·Shopping complexes

·Department stores

·Supermarkets

·Wet markets

·Hair & beauty salons

·Baths houses

·Massages parlors

At Least The Testing is Still Free

One good thing though, free PCR testing in Shanghai has been extended through the end of the year. We still gotta take ’em, but at least we don’t have to pay for ’em – yet.

Like always, rules and regulations will be adjusted according to the ever-changing nature of the pandemic.

New Rules for Returnees to Shanghai

In order to further strengthen the health management of arrivals to Shanghai and better protect the overall safety and health of the general public, the Office of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Leading Group issued new measures. The details are as follows:

1. For all those who arrive in Shanghai with a green code, the “Suishen Code” and “Venue Code” and other display interfaces will display a reminder that this person has recently arrived in Shanghai within the last 5 days.

2. People who arrive to Shanghai within the prior 5 days are not allowed to enter catering services (including bars), shopping centers (including department stores), supermarkets, vegetable markets, beauty salons, (foot) baths, indoor fitness centres, singing and dancing venues, and other public places such as entertainment, entertainment halls, Internet cafes, escape rooms, gaming halls, etc.

3. For all people who come to Shanghai, in addition to the requirements of “arrival inspection” and “three-day inspection” and other requirements, a nucleic acid test will be carried out on the fifth day. If the nucleic acid test result is negative, they will receive an ” uncheck reminder on the display page of the “Suishen Code” and “Site Code”.

4. The above measures will be implemented starting from midnight on November 24, 2022. Follow-up dynamic adjustments will be made according to the epidemic situation and prevention and control requirements.

Hang in there and stay safe, everyone!

18 The COVID Recap: COVID Regulation Relaxation

By: David A.Howard

On the morning of November 16th, the Shanghai Health Commission reported 2 local COVID-19 casse, 14 local asymptomatic cases, and 21 imported cases were detected, including 19 asymptomatic cases.

COVID Regulation Relaxation

After record number of cases in parts of the country, new lockdowns, and recommitments to sticking with COVID Zero, we finally have some good news on the pandemic!

A November 11th announcement from the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council has notified everyone that China is set to relax some anti-epidemic measures. While COVID Zero isn’t going away, these new rules are a welcome relief! Here’re the key points from the announcement, these measures went into place at midnight on Saturday, November 12th.

Traveling Internationally From China

Reduced Quarantine Time

Arrivals to the Chinese mainland now face a reduced quarantine time. There is now only 5 days of centralized quarantine and 3 days of home quarantine – this is the’5+3′ policy.

Arrivals will need to take a daily test on each of the 5 days of centralized quarantine and 2 additional tests during the 3 day home quarantine – on day 1 and day 3.

No Covid Flight Bans

China no longer bans international flights based on how many of the passengers test positive for COVID after arrival to China. This should increase the number of flights and hopefully decrease the costs as well!

Only 1 COVID Test Required Before Flying to China

Passengers now just need to present one negative nucleic acid test result issued within the prior 48 hours to board their flights.

Domestic Policy Changes

Quarantine for Close Contacts

Yes! Mirroring the international arrival 5+3 policy, quarantine for close contacts has been reduced from the ‘7+3’ policy to 5 days of centralized quarantine and 3 days of home quarantine.

No More Secondary Close Contacts

This one is huge! People who have been in close contact with close contact individuals no longer have to isolate! This really should cut down on the chances you’ll face quarantine just by going out in public.

Bye Bye Mid-Risk Areas

There are now only ‘low risk’ and ‘high risk’ areas. The ‘medium risk’ label has been dropped. Home Isolation for Spill Over Contacts.

Spill over contacts in high risk areas used to have to undergo centralized quarantine, but they can now isolate at home for the 7 day timeframe. During the home quarantine, QR codes will turn red and tests are required on Day 1, 3, 5, and 7.

Vaccine Rollout

Citizens will continue to be encouraged to receive vaccine and booster shots. This drive will focus on reaching the elderly.

Even though COVID Zero isn’t going away, these relaxations are a breath of (uninfected) air.

Hang in there, everyone!
