As Corona19 is in a stable phase, China is raising the barrier to entry, saying it will prevent the virus from entering the country abroad. When we come to China, we have implemented a de facto ban to enter the facility for two weeks at our own expense.

Beijing's immigration measures to immediately quarantine all foreign arrivals from the designated hotel for 14 days were immediately put into effect.

As the immigrants had to pay for the quarantine, one citizen said that he paid 1.2 million won for two weeks' accommodation.

Confusion has arisen over how far to admit the exceptions that can be replaced by self-containment.

Neimen Autonomous Region, Hainan Province, and Xi'an City are following Beijing's actions.

During the week, the Korean embassy demanded that all self-containers be converted to quarantine, but the Chinese authorities are unwilling to take special measures because the number of confirmed cases of foreign influx is greater than those infected in China.

State media also emphasized the inevitability of strengthening measures, saying that some foreign immigrants did not comply with self-separation regulations and that there were cases where they entered the country while hiding symptoms.

In this situation, Political Affairs Officer Yang Je-tsu emphasized again that the efforts of the Chinese people gave the world a valuable time in quarantine.

In a call to US Secretary of State Pompeii, who called Corona 19 the Wuhan virus, the Political Officer Yang Zetz claimed that the Chinese people were angry because American politicians were stigmatizing China.
