Quarantine for Inbound Passengers Shortened to 7 + 3

Big News on our inching closer to less hassle. China today has updated its New Coronavirus Prevent and Control Plan to the now 9th edition. The juiciest update for expats coming into China is a nationwide shortening of central quarantine from 14 + 7 to 7 days plus 3 days of "house health monitoring". No announcement has been made by the Shanghai authorities if, and how soon the new policy will be implemented. However, if we combine this with China's recent announcement about canceling PU letter requirements for a work visa... this is stacking up to be very positive for people who have been trying to get back into the Middle Kingdom.

China Easing Testing Requirements For Inbound Travelers:

More good news is that we're inching towards more ease in getting back into China. Instead of requiring two PCR Tests plus a Rapid Antigen Test, the requirement is being reduced to ONE PCR test before boarding a flight inbound to China.

Disneyland Re-Opens on June 30

The phrase "5 years" was wrongly copied and pasted from another paragraph to save time in getting the report out. PHEW.
