Information on returning home policies in 31 provinces and cities: one-stop query on Alipay

Recently, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued a notice on providing services and guarantees for the people to celebrate the New Year in their hometowns, requiring that people be guided to celebrate the New Year in their hometowns in a reasonable and orderly manner: people in high-risk areas should celebrate the New Year in their hometowns; those in medium-risk areas who need to travel due to special circumstances must obtain approval from the local epidemic prevention and control agencies; people in low-risk areas should not travel unless necessary.

This year's Spring Festival travel season is the first under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control. To help users understand the epidemic prevention policies related to the Spring Festival travel season, plan their trips and take necessary protection, on January 26, Alipay launched a special Spring Festival travel season anti-epidemic service area, providing one-stop anti-epidemic services for users who need to return home due to special circumstances.

For users who need to travel during the Spring Festival travel rush, Alipay has compiled the high-frequency services needed for travel, such as one-click acquisition of health codes, query of local return home policies, query of epidemic risk levels, appointment for nucleic acid testing and sampling, etc. Search "Spring Festival Travel" on Alipay to enter the special page.

On the page, you can see that the return policy query function allows users to query the latest epidemic prevention policies based on the departure city and destination city. Currently, this service has covered most cities in the 31 provinces and municipalities (data will be updated based on actual conditions). The risk level query service for the location also supports subscriptions, so users can receive timely notifications when the epidemic risk level changes.

In addition, the nucleic acid testing appointment service provided by more than 200 institutions has been launched online, and users can make appointments during off-peak hours or go on-site for sampling ; the passenger inquiry service supports inquiries about passengers and contacts of confirmed/suspected patients with COVID-19 and detected asymptomatic infections who have traveled or entered the country within 14 days (for personal inquiry only).

For users who are away from home, these services can help them save time and effort in dealing with the epidemic.

It is understood that Alipay launched the "Epidemic Service Express" special service at the beginning of last year. As the Spring Festival approaches this year, the special service has been restarted to allow users to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. On the basis of last year, this year, more than 15 types of contactless convenience services have been summarized. In addition to government affairs and life services, it also includes a variety of anti-epidemic services, such as querying local epidemic data, real-time epidemic information, epidemic maps, rumor-refuting areas, epidemic science popularization, nucleic acid certification, new crown vaccine vaccination sites, etc.

Corresponding services can be provided to people who stay in their hometowns for the New Year and those who need to go out due to special circumstances.
