China ends mandatory health declaration requirements for cross-border travellers
China’s customs authorities on Tuesday announced the cessation of mandatory health declaration requirements for both inbound and outbound travellers.
Starting November 1, inbound and outbound travellers would no longer need to file a health declaration form with customs, according to a statement from the General Administration of Customs.
However, those with symptoms of infectious diseases such as fever, cough, vomiting, and diarrhoea should make voluntary declarations to customs.
They should also cooperate with customs in temperature monitoring, epidemiological investigation, and other health and quarantine measures, the administration said.
