Guangdong has taken a series of measures to prevent imported COVID-19 cases and stem the cross-border spread of the virus, according to a statement from the Guangdong Health Commission at the press conference on March 4th.

The announcement indicates Guangdong will continue to adjust its quarantine policy for international arrivals considering the epidemic situation at the global level.

The province will require a 14-day self-quarantine or medical observation of both Chinese and foreign nationals if their destination is Guangdong and come from countries and regions with grave epidemic situation such as South Korea, Italy, Iran and Japan or with a travel history to the impacted countries and regions in the past 14 days.

As for the passengers who are transferring to other provinces, they will have to follow the measures taken by their destinations. Diplomatic officers will be treated according to related diplomatic regulations if they pass temperature checks.

In addition, Guangdong has tightened entry quarantine and requires all arrivals to fill in a health declaration form based on Chinese laws and regulations. Once any infected patients or suspected cases are detected, they will be transferred to designated hospitals for medical observation and further treatment.

The announcement stresses that Guangdong will implement these measures without any discrimination, taking into full consideration the legitimate concerns of the persons involved and offer them necessary guarantees and assistance.
