How Shanghai controls the influx of coronavirus cases from overseas
South Korean Lee Dong-min landed at Shanghai’s Hongqiao Airport around 1pm on Tuesday from Seoul. Less than 4 hours later, the 20-year-old Fudan University student was chatting with his mother at his home in Minhang District after avoiding contact with any member of the public on the way.
The Shanghai government has beefed up measures to prevent an influx of coronavirus cases from overseas. People who have lived or traveled in South Korea, Italy, Iran, Japan, France, Spain, Germany and the United States, — the eight countries hardest hit by coronavirus outside China — in the 14 days prior to their arrival must undergo a 14-day quarantine at home or at designated places.
Customs officials now put green, yellow or red tags on passengers’ passports. Cai Yihui, director of Minhang’s civil affairs bureau, said red includes passengers who have lived or traveled from the hardest-hit areas in the most-affected countries, for example, Daegu in South Korea. These people are driven to designated places for quarantine by customs authorities.
