Jun 28th Update: The new rules issued by the National Health Commission say that time will be cut to seven days in a facility, followed by three days in home isolation with regular testing for the coronavirus throughout.
Travelers will now only need to spend seven days in a quarantine facility, and then monitor their health at home for a further three days, according to the revised government protocol released Tuesday by China’s National Health Commission.
That’s down from 10 days hotel quarantine in many parts of China currently, and as many as 21 days of isolation in the past.
