With the effective control of the epidemic and the promotion of universal vaccination, relaxing restrictions has become a trend.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic at the end of 2019, various countries have implemented strict entry measures to varying degrees in order to combat the virus. Now, as the epidemic situation improves and countries have summarized their anti-epidemic experience, many countries represented by Southeast Asian countries have successively announced the reopening of their borders.

A reporter from the Chinese Business Daily learned that from April 1, Thailand and Malaysia will no longer need to be quarantined for travelers who have completed the COVID-19 vaccination. They can move freely after entering the country if the nucleic acid test is negative. Starting from March 15, Singapore will simplify entry procedures. Passengers arriving from low-risk countries and regions and through vaccination channels can quickly test themselves without quarantine. Since March 17, Cambodia has officially resumed visa-on-arrival. Incoming passengers do not need to present a negative COVID-19 test certificate, but only need to provide a vaccination certificate.

At the same time, European and American countries are gradually "unbundling" their policies. The United Kingdom announced that it will lift all entry restrictions against the new crown from March 18. After that, all inbound passengers, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated against the new crown, will There is no need for testing or isolation. Starting in April, Canada will cancel the COVID-19 test report for travelers who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and they will not need to quarantine while waiting for random inspections.

Taken together, with the effective control of the epidemic and the promotion of universal vaccination, relaxing restrictions has become a trend.

On March 15, the National Health Commission released the ninth version of the COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment plan, which was the first major adjustment to my country's epidemic prevention policy since the outbreak. The most concerning ones are: nucleic acid Ct values ??greater than 35 are no longer considered positive; mild patients do not need to be hospitalized; and the 14-day isolation after discharge is changed to a 7-day home health test. Compared with the previous policy, this is undoubtedly good news for returnees. The probability of flight interruption will be smaller and the number of quarantine days after returning home will be shortened accordingly.

In addition to the newly adjusted epidemic prevention policies, the successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics once again proved the effectiveness of China's international epidemic prevention. On this basis, voices of opening up international tourism are also coming. At the "Two Sessions", a representative of the National People's Congress proposed "piloting organized group outbound travel". Some qualified and quality travel agencies with good epidemic prevention and control work foundations can be selected. While the pilot is being carried out, the travel protection system during the epidemic will continue to be improved. Ensure "preventable, controllable, predictable and traceable".

In terms of inbound tourism, Huang Xihua, deputy to the National People’s Congress, member of the Standing Committee of the Huizhou Municipal Party Committee and director of the Propaganda Department, proposed that “we can follow the principle of a safe place and an open place, and select islands such as Zhoushan Island, Chongming Island, and Hainan Island as priority” The international tourism revitalization pilot will give pilot inbound and outbound tourism policies the autonomy to pilot and build a long-term mechanism for inbound and outbound tourism revitalization."

State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi also recently said. It said that this year it will launch the "Healthy Travel Plan" and launch an enhanced version of the "International Travel Health Certificate" to facilitate safe, healthy and convenient cross-border travel.
