The country where the epidemic first appeared last year has largely managed to eradicate it. After closing its borders in late March and significantly restricting international flights, China has been cautiously opening its doors to travelers in recent months, according to AMPE.
Posted on the website of the Chinese embassy in London yesterday, the Chinese government announces that it has "decided to temporarily suspend the entry of non-Chinese from Britain", even if they have a residence permit or visa. "This suspension is a necessary temporary measure due to the current situation with covid-19»Is clarified in the announcement.
A similar announcement is available in Chinese on the website of the Chinese Embassy in Belgium.
Britain is one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus, with more than a million cases and nearly 48.000 deaths.
In addition to Britain and Belgium, many Chinese embassies in countries such as France, the United States, Germany, Singapore and Canada have announced the tightening of conditions under which entry is allowed into Chinese territory.
Travelers, Chinese and foreigners, from these countries must present two coronavirus diagnostic tests two days prior to departure and be certified by the Chinese embassy in the country where they are staying.
