The Chinese capital has introduced new rules for inbound travelers in an effort to contain the transmission of coronavirus.
Spokesman Xu Hejian from the municipal government says the new measures are intended to reduce risks caused by the prolonged incubation period of imported asymptomatic cases.
"Inbound passengers have to undergo 14 days of quarantine and 7 days of observation or staying at home after they test negative for coronavirus at customs. Passengers on the same flight should add 7 more days to their observation period if anyone or any object tests positive for coronavirus during the 14-day of quarantine period."
Those staying at home within the observation period are required to report their health conditions to their communities regularly.
Inbound passengers entering Beijing from other ports should stay outside the city for twenty-one days.
