Bloomberg: China is researching shortening the entry isolation period until ＂2+5＂

Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the matter and said that Chinese officials are studying whether the entry isolation quarantine period is shortened to "2+5", that is, two days of centralized isolation and five -day home isolation.

According to Bloomberg News on Thursday (October 20), as discussion was carried out in private, people familiar with the matter requested anonymous, but they said that Chinese officials are studying the isolation period to shorten the two -day hotel centralized isolation and five days for five daysHome isolation.

At present, China's entry quarantine isolation policy is "7+3", that is, seven days of centralized isolation of medical observation and three -day home health monitoring. During the period, a total of six nucleic acid tests need to be performed and cannot go out.

People familiar with the matter pointed out that it is unclear what restrictions will be in the new home isolation period, and how new regulations will apply to foreigners and other visitors who have no residence in China.They revealed that this new measure may be included in the new version of the epidemic prevention and control schemes that are expected to be released in the near future.

However, a person familiar with the matter emphasized that this policy transformation requires approval by senior leaders, so it may still be variable or not deployed at all.

The National Health Commission of China did not immediately respond to Bloomberg's comment request.

The last relaxation of the entry isolation in China was in the ninth edition of the crown disease epidemic prevention and control plan released on June 28 this year. The original "14+7" isolation policy was adjusted to "7+3"" ".

Bloomberg reported that due to this good news, the decline in Chinese stocks traded in the United States have narrowed, and the offshore RMB has also risen slightly.

China's strict "dynamic clearing" policy and sluggish economic prospects have frustrated investors' confidence.Earlier, the Nasdaq's Golden Dragon China Index, which reflects China's stocks in the United States, plunged 7.1%on Wednesday (19th), creating the largest single -day decline since May 9th, at the lowest closing level since nine years.
