Do I need to be quarantined when I return home?

You need to be isolated when you come back from other provinces.

People in high-risk areas in China need to be isolated for 14 days (during which two nucleic acid tests and 1 serum tests were carried out). People who have a history of living in high-risk areas or their associated areas should take the initiative to report the relevant situation to their communities (villages) and work units 24 hours before entering Zheng, and implement centralized isolation measures for people entering Zheng in high-risk areas in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control departments in their jurisdictions; For those who enter Zhengzhou in other relevant areas, measures such as home health monitoring and nucleic acid detection should be implemented. The segregation policy varies from place to place. In strictly controlled areas, people from low-risk areas may need to be quarantined for 14 days when they return to China, or they may need to be quarantined at their place of residence when they find that they cannot return to their place of residence after a business trip. For details, please consult relevant local departments or communities.
