Preparation for epidemic prevention
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You'an Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, and a medical expert at Xiaotangshan Fangcang Hospital, once said that if the sun has passed before the Spring Festival and there will be no re-infection in a short period of time, you can travel in a down-to-earth manner , but you still have to be vigilant when going abroad, foreign strains are different from those popular in China, and the risk of infection is relatively high.
Guo Wei, a travel blogger, gave his advice on "prevention of falling victim":
1. Wear a mask: Wear a mask in confined spaces (such as supermarkets, airplanes, cars, etc.) and outdoors where there are many people. The main precautions are asymptomatic infections ; The importance is self-evident
3, frequent disinfection:
First, hand cleaning is as important as masks , I carry portable alcohol wipes (portable and independent), which assists the alcohol hand sanitizer provided by Singapore hotels, most of which are handshakes , There are bacteria when touching various places, and the infection problem caused by touching the mouth and nose, I think this is also an important reason for not being recruited.
Secondly, the mobile phone should also be disinfected, every time the hands are cleaned, they must be cleaned with alcohol , this is where the viruses most.
4. Itinerary safety: It is recommended to wear a pullover on the plane, wash your coat when you get off the plane, and wash your hair and take a bath by yourself. Wear a mask when you are not eating on the plane, and try to take off the mask as little as possible. Disinfect all touched parts of the plane with alcohol wipes, and disinfect hands before each meal. If you are on a long-distance flight, use disposable wipes to clean your face every 8 hours. Do not wash your face or brush your teeth in the bathroom. It is better to be dirty than sunny.
5. Hotel cleaning: Pay attention to ventilation in the hotel room, wash your hands every time you come back, disinfect with alcohol, and wipe the food and water bought from the supermarket with alcohol if you are very concerned.
6. Time arrangement: Don’t arrange the itinerary too tightly, but make room for the recovery time to avoid delaying the itinerary. It takes about 7 days to recover negative after being recruited once, and it is easy to delay the itinerary if the arrangement is not good.
Zhihu user XXXLI said that
1, prepare sufficient funds: ensure that he can live overseas for more than half a year, and take into account that medical expenses may be high, especially for people with underlying diseases. : Foreign countries have different medical treatment plans for the new crown. Conditions may be affected by the epidemic and may not be able to get medical treatment as desired. Prepare some medicines for minor illnesses such as fever and cough to reduce the probability of seeing the hospital;
3, essential Protective materials: such as masks, disinfectant alcohol, etc.;
4. Safety precautions must be taken: Under the recession of the epidemic, public security has declined all over the world; variable.
Policy Factors
According to Ctrip’s information on the China Consular Service Network, as of December 27, more than 70 countries and regions around the world have opened visa-free or visa-on-arrival policies for ordinary Chinese passports. In fact, Chinese citizens traveling to these countries and regions are not completely unconditional. Although some countries and regions have visa-free or visa-on-arrival policies for Chinese citizens, they also set certain "thresholds" and requirements.
Before making travel plans, be sure to understand the latest policies of relevant countries and regions. For example, with the gradual adjustment of China's entry and exit policies, some countries have also adjusted their restrictions on Chinese inbound tourists.
For example, India: The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India recently announced that international passengers from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and South Korea must carry RT-PCR test reports when they travel to India, and they are found to have symptoms when they arrive in Indiaor COVID-19 people who test positive will be quarantined. In addition, from December 24, India will select 2% of passengers on each international flight for random nucleic acid testing.
Japan: Kyodo News reported on December 27 that in view of the sudden increase in the number of people infected with the new crown in China, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced on the 27th that entry prevention measures will be strengthened from December 30. For all personnel who have traveled to Japan from mainland China and have been to China within seven days, they will be tested upon entry. People who test positive for the new crown are quarantined for seven days in principle, and the increase of flights in China will be restricted.
Price and visa factors
With the opening of the policy, the search volume for Chinese New Year outbound and group tour products soared by 6 times. Relevant air tickets have also risen accordingly, and it will take time for the price to fall. Friends who pay attention to cost performance can wait and see.
At the same time, there are still certain restrictions on the " supply side " of visas in the short term. According to Ctrip visa data, since December 7, the number of overseas visa applications has increased by more than 12 times compared with last year. Ctrip visa related personnel said that the current passport new or expired renewal is still the first priority for business, study abroad, and family visits. ; Most overseas countries have opened visa processing, but due to the domestic epidemic situation, many consulates have insufficient staff, resulting in delays in visa processing.

and set off to the world!
