How do China people in Iran return to China?

There are still many tourists from China and overseas students from China who are still stranded in Iran. Recently, the epidemic situation in Iran is rather severe, and everyone hopes to return to China as soon as possible. However, many countries have announced the suspension of flights in Iran, so how can China people return from Iran now?

At present, many countries have grounded flights to and from Iran, and Iran's neighboring countries have also taken restrictive measures on traffic.

I suggest you buy flights to Thailand or European countries, and you need to call the airlines to confirm.

In Iran, the epidemic has spread from Qom, the outbreak center, to 19 provinces, but Iranian President Rouhani said on Wednesday that the government would not block Qom. So, how does Iran respond to the epidemic now? What is the situation in Iran?

Local Chinese: Try not to go out. Some people have bought tickets to return to China.

Liu Wu told Red Star that his Iranian friends and customers call to care about themselves every day and tell him not to go out. Some of his Iranian friends have also taken protective measures seriously and tried not to go out. If they want to go out, they should wear masks, disposable gloves and hats and buy disinfectant at home.

However, he said that only a small number of Iranians would take precautions so seriously, and most people should go out and don't wear masks when going to crowded places.

There are still many people on the streets of Iran who don't wear masks.

Iranian local people's awareness of protection is particularly poor, which is totally ignored. When the confirmed cases first appeared, officials began to remind everyone to wear masks and try not to go out. They also sent leaflets to tell everyone how to prevent them. "But even now, the locals are still taking things seriously, and everyone should do whatever they want. There are people who don't wear masks everywhere on the road."

The following are the experiences and strategies of China tourists who are currently traveling in Iran.

It seems that the local life and work in Tehran have not been affected by Covid-19, and almost all local government agencies and enterprises are operating normally, and shopping centers and roadside shops have hardly closed down. "Now many companies have not taken measures, employees go to work normally, and the office next door is the same. Everyone doesn't wear masks."

However, the local Chinese in Iran have begun to be ready for battle. He said, "We China people don't want to go out. We don't have to be sure to go out. If we have to go out, we should be cautious. Disposable gloves and masks are necessary."

Liu Wu said that many Iranian Chinese are already buying air tickets and preparing to return to China. However, direct flights between Iran and China stopped at the beginning of this month, and Dubai and Oman also suspended flights to and from Iran in recent days. At present, if you want to return to China, you can only fly to Bangkok and Russia for connecting flights.

"The air ticket price has gone up very sharply. The air ticket of Aeroflot was about 2,4 RMB three days ago, but now it has risen to more than 8, RMB, so it may not be available yet." He told the Red Star journalist. "Many friends around me have already bought tickets and are ready to return to China. Today, several people have flown to Thailand to transfer back to China."

However, Liu Wu has no plans to return to China at present. "There are still some unfinished business, and there is no way to return to China for the time being. There are also some Chinese people who, like me, have too many things to do. We can only protect ourselves as much as possible, do a good job of protection, and try not to contact people outside. " He said. "If there is nothing to deal with, I will buy a ticket to return to China, but if there is something here, it doesn't matter if it is well protected."

On the streets of Iran, Iranians also queue up at pharmacies to buy medical masks, disinfectant gels and sprays. The price of these products has risen tenfold, and there are notices everywhere that masks and disinfectant are sold out.
