In a further move to loosen its strict zero-Covid regime, China will remove quarantine measures for foreign arrivals from January 8, requiring only a show of negative PCR test result obtained 48 hours ahead of entry to China.

The announcement was made by the National Health Commission online today.

Foreign arrivals to China will no longer need to serve quarantine from January 8, 2023

The reopening is expected to inject fresh hopes of recovery into China’s business events industry, which has been severely disrupted by the authority’s zero-Covid strategy.
