Covid In China: Countries Tighten Rules

CHINA – Italy has become the latest country to impose mandatory covid tests on Chinese tourists after China announced it would reopen its borders next week.

Tighter measures have also been brought in by Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, and India – while the U.S. said it is considering imposing more rules.

After almost three years of restrictions, China will let people travel more easily beginning January 8th.

Authorities say quarantine for travellers entering China will also end on the same day, and passport applications for Chinese citizens will resume.
