On the 20th, the "Work Plan for the Prevention and Control of New Coronary Pneumonia in Rural Areas in Winter and Spring" answered key questions.
Recently, the State Council’s Comprehensive Team of Joint Prevention and Control Mechanisms for the Prevention and Control of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic and the Office of the Central Rural Work Leading Group formulated the "Work Plan for the Prevention and Control of New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemics in Rural Areas in Winter and Spring."
The "Plan" clarifies that returnees must return home with a valid negative result of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test within 7 days. After returning home, they will implement home health monitoring for 14 days. During this period, they will not gather or move, and carry out a nucleic acid test every 7 days.

1. Why should the epidemic prevention and control management be strengthened for returning home personnel?
Since the beginning of winter, sporadic cases and local clusters of epidemics have increased significantly in rural areas, seriously affecting the normal order of local production and life.
Rural areas are weak in prevention and control capabilities, and it is difficult to prevent and control the epidemic. In particular, the increase in the number of people returning home during the Spring Festival travel period and the increase in personnel flow will further increase the risk of epidemic transmission.
In order to strictly implement the prevention and control strategy of internal rebound prevention, it is necessary to strengthen the management of epidemic prevention and control for returnees.
Nucleic acid testing is currently an effective means to detect people infected with the new crown virus as soon as possible. The requirement for returnees to hold a negative nucleic acid test can effectively reduce the risk of the epidemic entering the countryside and ensure that everyone spends a healthy and safe Spring Festival.
2. Who are the returnees mentioned in the work plan?
The returnees referred to in the work plan refer to those who have returned to rural areas from other places. They mainly include: first, returnees from across provinces; second, returnees from cities in the middle and high-risk areas within the province (in principle, the internal personnel in the medium and high-risk areas No movement); Third, the import cold chain food practitioners, port direct contact with imported goods practitioners, quarantine workers, transportation vehicle practitioners and other key groups in this province.
3. How to obtain a negative nucleic acid test certificate before returning home?
Returnees can be tested at any medical institution, disease control institution or third-party testing institution that is qualified for nucleic acid testing at the place of departure or destination, with a certificate of negative nucleic acid test within 7 days or a health pass that contains negative information on nucleic acid testing within 7 days Code "Green Code" returns to rural areas.
4. Who is responsible for checking the negative certificate of nucleic acid test?
Returnees should inform the local village committee before returning to their hometown. After returning to their hometown, the village committee will check the negative certificate of nucleic acid test within 7 days or the health pass code "green code" that contains negative information of nucleic acid test within 7 days.
5. When will I return home with a negative nucleic acid test?
Returning home with a negative nucleic acid test will be implemented from the beginning of the Spring Festival travel on January 28 to the end of the Spring Festival travel on March 8.
6. Do I need to be isolated after returning home with a negative nucleic acid test?
Those who have a negative nucleic acid test certificate do not need to be quarantined after returning to their hometown, but they need to be monitored for home health for 14 days, monitor their body temperature and symptoms, and do not go out or gather unless necessary. Personal protection must be done when going out, and after returning home A nucleic acid test was done on the 7th day and the 14th day.
Those who return to their hometown within 14 days shall implement the home health monitoring and nucleic acid testing requirements based on the actual return time.
7. How do localities implement this policy?
All localities should determine the scope of rural areas in accordance with local actual conditions and combined with national policies, formulate the implementation rules of the province, and provide relevant supporting services.
