A Letter to Foreign Nationals Travelling to
Zhejiang through the Fast Track
 June 28th, 2020

Countries around the world should join hands in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to thank you for travelling back to Zhejiang via the Fast Track to continue our exchange and cooperation. For your health and the health of others, and in accordance with the decisions of the Central and Zhejiang provincial authorities on epidemic control, we’d like to notify you of the following regarding visa application and restriction measures on ground.
 
I. Please bring the invitation letter issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Foreign Affairs Department or Commerce Department and other necessary materials to the Chinese embassy or consulate general in your city for visa application. You are also required to fill in a health declaration form and present a negative nucleic acid test (NAT) result provided by a health institution designated by your government for such tests.
 
II. After obtaining the visa, you must self-monitor your health conditions for at least 14 days prior to travelling to China, and apply for the International Health Code of Zhejiang Province (you can download the “浙里办” (zheliban) app and log onto the “International Health Code” section). You need to take at least one NAT and get the negative result at a designated health institution within 72 hours of your travel to China.
 
III. Documents required by Chinese Customs upon arrival include an invitation letter, the negative NAT result and a customs health declaration form. In principle, if foreign nationals are tested negative in both the NAT and antibody test after arriving at the first port of entry through the Fast Track, they will be picked up and sent to their destination by the municipal government of their destination. After arriving at the destination, they will be asked about their health condition and required to take the NAT and antibody test. If the tests come out positive, they will be sent to designated hospitals for isolation and treatment. Those with negative results will be placed under home quarantine for 14 days. If there is an absolute need at work, upon approval from the local epidemic control office, they can also go to work during this period, but they must avoid “all non-essential contact”, step up self-protection, observe social distancing, use arranged travel, and abide by the closed-loop management of local authorities. Another NAT will be taken on the 13th day. With negative test results, they can resume normal work and life from Day 15, and from then on regular prevention and control measures will take over.
