Anyone going to China will have to prove they don’t have coronavirus before boarding their flight, Beijing announced Tuesday, as the country seeks to prevent new infections after easing travel restrictions. China has been relaxing a ban on most foreign travelers that was imposed in March to prevent an influx of infections after authorities largely brought the domestic epidemic under control.All arrivals were screened for the virus on landing, and also had to spend 14 days in quarantine at their own expense at designated hotels.
But under new regulations announced Tuesday by the Civil Aviation Administration of China citizens must now also upload a picture of their negative test certificate to a health app, while foreigners must apply to a Chinese embassy or consulate with proof of their status.
