As the number of foreign inflows increased compared to those with domestic outbreaks, the authorities in China increased the intensity of counter-inflow prevention measures.

Entrants are responsible for all costs of quarantine, including accommodation costs.

In fact, government media have stepped up the criticism of hard-line measures to prevent entry, emphasizing the justification of the strengthened measures.

In particular, Huanggu Times claimed that some of the overseas immigrants did not properly maintain self-containment, which increased the risk of quarantine.

In fact, there have been cases in which immigrants from the United States have been confirmed after eating antipyretic drugs and boarding an airplane to arrive in Beijing.

In this situation, the city of Beijing only allowed up to two people to sit at one table in a restaurant, and then faced face-to-face eating.
