China Overseas Chinese Network, August 5th, title: Refute rumors!
The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still spreading, and rumors are also spreading. Although Xiaoqiao (ID: qiaowangzhongguo) has circulated several rounds of rumors, it still cannot keep up with the speed of rumors generation. However, in order to prevent everyone from worrying, worrying, and being deceived, Xiao Qiao has another round of rumors today! (And won't be the last time)
Rumor: China-Russia land port passenger inspection channel opened
The truth: all land ports between China and Russia will continue to close, and there is no plan to resume opening in the near future.
Recently, news circulated on the Internet that the travel inspection channel at the China-Russia land port is expected to resume opening before September 1.
In response to this matter, the Chinese Embassy in Russia issued an important notice on July 29 after verifying with the domestic authorities, clearly stating that all land ports in China and Russia will continue to be closed for travel inspection and there is no plan to open it in the near future.

Rumor: If you organize a group to travel to the United States, you can transfer from Cambodia to the United States, "no need for epidemic prevention and quarantine" and "personal arrival at the airport"
The truth: false propaganda.
Recently, the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia received news that there are people on the Internet selling group-buying products from Beijing to the United States via Phnom Penh, and "no need to participate in the Cambodian government's unified epidemic prevention and quarantine" and "personal VIP entry and pick-up" as selling points.

According to relevant regulations of Cambodia, Cambodia is not a visa-free country for transit and transit, and during the epidemic, the Cambodian immigration department will suspend the application of electronic visas and visas on arrival for all foreign citizens.
The Ministry of Health of Cambodia has also issued relevant anti-epidemic regulations a few days ago. All foreign citizens will be tested for new coronary pneumonia after entering the country. After testing, they must be isolated for 14 days at an isolation point or at home.
The embassy reminds Chinese citizens who wish to transit through Cambodia to carefully understand the relevant regulations on the entry of foreigners into the epidemic, pay close attention to the relevant consular reminders, do not buy tickets through unofficial channels such as ticket sales agencies or third-party platforms, and do not trust them. The so-called "going to the United States in a group" information, to avoid delays and economic losses.
Rumor: Someone in a Chinese shop in Spain was infected with the new crown virus
The truth: No one in the store was infected with the new coronavirus.
Recently, there was a rumor in the Chinese circle in Spain: “The owner and staff of a Chinese shop in Badajoz have been infected with the new crown virus. Everyone must be careful.”
The owner of the shop learned of the matter after his friends around him cared about his physical condition and quickly came out to refute the rumors. The store employees also said that the situation was not true and none of them had contracted the new crown virus. At present, they have reported to the local national police.
Rumor: Can mosquito bites spread the new coronavirus?
The truth: It has been scientifically verified that the bite of a mosquito will not transmit the new coronavirus.
Recently, there has been a popular saying on the Internet that "you must not go to places where there are many mosquitoes, because mosquito bites will spread the new crown virus", which caused panic for a while.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) has already issued the conclusion that "mosquitoes cannot transmit the new coronavirus". Recently, the research team at Kansas State University in the United States once again demonstrated this statement.
Researchers tested the ability of the new coronavirus to infect and replicate in mosquitoes through experiments with virus inoculation in the chest cavity. The researchers detected the new coronavirus in samples collected within two hours of inoculation, confirming that the virus can be effectively transmitted to mosquitoes; however, no virus was detected in all samples collected 24 hours after inoculation.
It can be concluded that the new coronavirus cannot replicate in mosquitoes, and mosquitoes will not become a vector of the virus.
Rumor: Can you find someone to do the "fast track" procedures to go to Myanmar?
Truth: The agency procedures are not in compliance.
In order to further resume trade exchanges, economic cooperation and the development of major projects, China and Myanmar have coordinated and opened up a "Fast Track" to Myanmar to ensure the needs of Chinese personnel in Myanmar. This has caused a small number of people with ulterior motives to have "wrong minds". In recent days, some organizations and personnel have claimed to be able to assist in the "fast track" procedures to come to Myanmar and collect fees for profit.
To this end, the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar issued a relevant notice reminding Chinese citizens to apply for coming to Myanmar through the following two channels: One is to contact the Myanmar Chinese Enterprise Chamber of Commerce to apply, and after preliminary review by the Chamber of Commerce Secretariat, contact Myanmar through the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar Relevant departments handle it; the second is to contact the Myanmar Embassy in China to submit an application. The Myanmar Embassy in China will go through the visa business and "fast-track" procedures after approval. The embassy emphasized not to listen to rumors and avoid being deceived.
Finally, Xiao Qiao reminds you again: The current overseas epidemic is spreading, and various rumors are everywhere. Please keep your eyes open. In extraordinary times, we must pay attention to official and authoritative sources of information, do not believe in news from unknown sources, and do not spread, believe, or spread rumors!
Xiaoqiao also asks everyone to pay attention to China Overseas Chinese Network WeChat (ID: qiaowangzhongguo), we will never stop on the road of refuting rumors!
