Beijing residents cautioned against overseas trips

Beijing  is tightening up outbound management to require all citizens to suspend all unnecessary  travel plans.

Beijing's disease control and prevention leading group stressed on Friday night that as the cross-border infections of the novel coronavirus have raged recently, it's essential to implement the requirements of all inbound travelers to undergo centralized quarantine and conduct regular checks to scrutinize the medical observation of those passengers, China Daily reports.

Outbound management also needs to be strengthened, the group said. If not necessary, citizens in Beijing have to suspend their travel plans.

Sites for centralized medical quarantine of inbound travelers must be chosen carefully, the group said. Once risks for hidden danger are found, they should make adjustments and improve the plans for centralized quarantine places.

Medical waste generated from centralized quarantine sites have to be disposed of appropriately and a streamlined process dealing with trash needs to be formed with regular checks, it said.
