A reminder on health management for people coming to Wuxi from abroad

Dear friends from abroad,

Welcome (back) to Wuxi! Thanks for travelling all the way here!

In face of the changing situation in the prevention and control of COVID-19, in order to preserve our hard-won accomplishments in the fight against the virus, jointly protect our beautiful home and ensure the safety of all residents and visitors, please cooperate with us on the following:

1. If you have not completed the required procedures after entry to China, including 14 days of centralized quarantine for medical observation and two nucleic acid tests, please take the initiative to apply for the Wuxi Health QR Code (or Jiangsu Health QR Code) on the day of arrival and contact your local community administration immediately. We and your community will continue to provide you with the necessary health management and care services.

2. Please try to avoid participating in group activities such as dinner parties and gatherings after you arrive in Wuxi and when commuting to work. If it is not necessary, please do not go to crowded public places.

3. Please wear masks in the correct manner when you take public transport, elevators or go to other crowded places. Please keep a distance of at least 1 meter when meeting people.

4. Maintain good hygiene, carry handkerchiefs or tissues, wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth and nose with your elbows when coughing or sneezing, and keep rooms ventilated.

5. In view of the severe global pandemic, many countries (regions) have adopted temporary immigration control measures. To prevent cross-infection during travel and unnecessary losses caused by travel ban policies, if it is not absolutely necessary, it is recommended to cancel or postpone international travel, especially to countries with severe outbreaks. If it is really necessary to go abroad, you should understand the immigration control measures and outbreak information in detail before departure, and make sufficient preparations for personal protection.

6. Do a good job of health self-monitoring and take your body temperature every day. Once there are signs of fever (body temperature ≥37.3 C), coughing and other respiratory symptoms, please immediately put on a mask and report to the community center, and dial 120 to get transferred to the nearest fever clinic for treatment. In this case, please avoid taking public transport all the time.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

We hope you and your family remain safe and sound.
