China tightens corona grip once again | BT Udland - www.bt.dk While we in Denmark have long since thrown up bandages and dropped frequent coronal tests, the picture is still quite different in Hong Kong in China. Here, the authorities have now introduced a de facto international travel ban, which prohibits citizens from traveling abroad, unless it is a so-called necessary trip. This is happening in the wake of the country's zero tolerance policy towards covid-19 - that is, a case is a case of too much. It writes With the travel ban, the authorities want to further reduce the risk of infection, both when you leave the country and when you return home. A necessary trip covers, among other things, business trips and scientific work - as well as people who need medical care abroad. However, the authorities have not gone into detail about how they will concretely enforce the new rules. The travel rules now being introduced in the country are some of the most stringent, putting extra pressure on an already pressured population who for more than two years have had to put up with long lockdowns, mass testing and mandatory quarantine in their homes. According to CNN, the authorities are cracking down on travel activity as more people have tried to get out of the country due to the strict closures where it has not been allowed to move outside. Empty streets in Beijing due to corona restrictions. Especially in the capital Beijing, where the number of corona cases is increasing, people are starting to want to leave the city. The people fear that their rights and dignity will be taken away from them, according to CNN. China's borders remain closed to tourists, only Chinese citizens returning home are allowed to enter the country. Flights are also very limited and expensive - and if you enter the country, you will be quarantined for 21 days. Add to that the authorities issuing far fewer travel documents or avoiding renewing passports for 'unnecessary' travel. At least 32 cities around China are now under full or partial lockdown, affecting up to 220 million people, according to CNN's estimates. One of the most notable shutdowns is in the city of Shanghai, which has been under shutdown since early March. We have written about this before.
