1. Is it true that the national average daily number of inbound arrivals is 120,000?

The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the afternoon of March 16 to introduce the relevant situation of preventing and controlling the import of overseas epidemics in accordance with the law.

Liu Haitao, director of the Border Inspection and Management Department of the National Immigration Administration, introduced on the same day that since the World Health Organization announced the new coronavirus outbreak as a "global pandemic" on March 11, the average number of people entering the country through land ports, seaports and airports has been 120,000 per day, a decrease of more than 80% compared with the same period last year.

Liu Haitao said that since March 11, the average number of people entering the country on international flights has been 20,000 per day, of which foreigners account for about 10%. Liu Haitao called on residents in mainland China to minimize overseas travel arrangements in the near future and to be cautious when traveling to countries where the epidemic is more serious to ensure their own safety and health.

II. Things to note when leaving the country

1. Adhere to the principle of “no travel unless necessary”. Unless it is absolutely necessary, residents should suspend travel plans to countries and regions where the epidemic occurs.

It is necessary to keep abreast of the epidemic situation at the destination through the official website of the World Health Organization, the General Administration of Customs or the destination country. It is recommended not to travel to countries and regions where the epidemic is locally transmitted, especially to countries and regions with severe epidemics. When planning your travel, you should try to choose direct flights to reduce transfer risks.

2. Residents who really need to travel, especially the elderly, patients with chronic diseases and other weak people, should evaluate their own health conditions. Those with chronic disease attacks or other acute diseases should avoid going to the epidemic area. Other people going abroad should prepare personal protective equipment such as masks and hand sanitizers.

3. In accordance with the prevention and control requirements of the destination country or region, cooperate with health quarantine, provide detailed and truthful personal information, and carefully fill out the health declaration card.

When abroad, you should try to keep your distance from other people and avoid close contact with people. If you have symptoms such as fever or cough, you should go to the nearest hospital for medical treatment in time. If necessary, you can contact the Chinese embassy or consulate in the local area for assistance.

4. After returning to China, actively and truthfully declare your health status as required and cooperate with the customs department’s health quarantine. If you have symptoms such as fever, you should actively report to the customs and not conceal your illness, otherwise you will bear legal responsibility.

If you develop symptoms such as fever or cough after returning to China, you should immediately report to a centralized medical observation point or community staff, wear a medical mask and go to the nearest fever clinic, and actively inform the doctor of your overseas travel and contact history to facilitate diagnosis.
