How to reduce the risk in transit under the epidemic prevention and control?
Recently, domestic confirmed cases have been reported in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hebei, Beijing, Shanghai and other places. Therefore, epidemic prevention and control work is still an important part of the Spring Festival transportation in 2021.
How can the population migration of more than one billion people reduce the risks on the way?
Clear requirements are put forward in the "Overall Work Plan for the Prevention and Control of the Epidemic During the Spring Festival Transport in 2021".

In addition, in accordance with requirements, local transportation departments should strengthen information sharing with health departments and regions.
Strictly enforce that passengers wear masks throughout the journey.
Passengers with body temperature ≥37.3℃ should be isolated and observed as soon as possible, handed over to the prevention and control department of the local government in time, and cooperated with relevant departments to carry out investigation and follow-up monitoring.
