After South Korea and India, Italy’s Lombardy region announced that
all Chinese passengers entering Milan Malpensa Airport from now on must undergo a new crown nucleic acid test after the flight lands and before claiming their luggage! Leave immediately when done.
On the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' entry and exit security, there are relevant reminders in mainland China.
It should be noted that this policy is currently implemented by the health department of Lombardy, Italy, and is currently only implemented at Milan Malpensa Airport. The
policy is temporarily implemented until the end of January. It is reported that the fee is 90 Euros/person (about 668 yuan).
Lombardy , the most economically developed region in Italy, Milan is in Lombardy.
Chinese netizens who entered Milan after the new regulations were circulated on the Internet said that the cost of nucleic acid testing at Malpensa Airport is 90 euros.
The Chinese self-media in Italy interpreted it this way:
In the past few days, there have been more and more news about strengthening the testing of passengers, including those departing from China.
Last weekend, German media reported that some German politicians proposed cutting off flights to China.
After China relaxed its epidemic prevention measures, some politicians in Germany worried that this would be the beginning of another wave of international infections. Jürgen Hardt, spokesman for foreign policy of the German Coalition Party, told German media that all flights between Germany and China should be stopped!
However, the German Federal Ministry of Transport responded that there was no reason to do so, and rejected the EU attempt to stop flights between Germany and China.
In Singapore, Dr Paul Tambyah, president of the Asia Pacific Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infection, said there was no need for Singapore to impose additional entry requirements for travelers from China despite China's reopening.
The customs clearance of the mainland and Hong Kong in mid-January is almost a certainty.
