China News Service, June 17. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Portugal, the current situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Portugal is severe, and the number of confirmed infections remains high. Several people who have traveled to China from Portugal have been diagnosed as imported cases. It will have an impact on personal health and itinerary, and also endanger the health and safety of the passengers on the same flight and the normal operation of the flight, causing great inconvenience to the majority of compatriots in Portugal returning to China.

  In order to ensure the health and safety of the majority of passengers, the relevant requirements for self-isolation before travel to China are further emphasized as follows:

  1. Those who plan to go to China should consciously do health isolation for 7 days before the trip, and do not go out during the period except for the pre-trip inspection.

Individuals should be isolated in a single room, fill in truthfully and upload the "Pre-departure Self-Isolation Certificate" when applying for the health code.

If you feel unwell or have close contact, you should contact the embassy.

  2. Wear N95 masks when going out for testing, choose safer methods such as self-driving, keep a safe distance from other testing personnel, and do not do things unrelated to testing when going out, especially not eating out, shopping, etc.

  3. Take protective measures on the way to China, wear N95 masks throughout the process, wear protective gloves or protective clothing if conditions permit, try to avoid meals on the way, and do not take off masks when using the bathroom.

Move around less in the cabin to avoid cross infection.

  4. If it is found that any person going to China fails to comply with the requirements for applying for the health code or is not quarantined before departure, they should be discouraged and reported to the embassy as soon as possible.

  Doing a good job in going out for testing and isolation protection is the key to safe travel.

The embassy and airline will inspect the personnel on flights to China, and will not issue health codes for unreported or unreasonable doubts.

The embassy will inform the country of the relevant situation and hold accountable for those who conceal the history of confirmed diagnosis, positive test history, close contact history, and imported cases due to inadequate self-isolation, and will be severely punished in accordance with laws and regulations.

  It is hoped that the vast number of people in Portugal will understand and support and consciously implement the relevant policy requirements, cherish the convenience brought by the direct flight between China and Portugal, and consider the health and travel of themselves and others. Risks and flight input risks are minimized and jointly maintain the safety and stability of the China-Portugal route.
