Passengers from non-epidemic areas entering Sanya: 

Since 6:00 on March 11, 2022, on the basis of the implementation of the original epidemic prevention and control measures, the airport and railway station will provide a “landing” free nucleic acid detection service for all the people entering the city, they may pass after sampling, and can wait for the results at home.

Passengers with a history of living in medium and high-risk areas within the last 14 days will be quarantined and managed in a closed-loop until a specified time.

Control policies and measures for passengers leaving Sanya:

Since 6:00 on March 20, 2022, passengers departing from Sanya may check in with a negative nucleic acid test taken within 48 hours. If their body temperature is normal and they hold a green Hainan health code or a green State Council health code, they can pass.

Chengmai Adjusts New Epidemic Prevention and Control Policy:

Based on a nucleic acid detection test taken within 24 hours, personnel from outside the province (returning) should strictly implement “three days and two checks”.

Before the nucleic acid test results are available, they should strictly isolate at home (hotel). If the results of nucleic acid tests are all negative, they can travel under the condition of correctly using personal protection and conducting 14-day self-health monitoring.
