Sharjah24 - Reuters: As COVID-19 cases in China increase as a result of the loosening of its "zero-COVID" regulations, authorities around the world are implementing or considering restrictions on travelers from China. Regarding its COVID data, China has resisted criticism.
UNITED STATES
The United States imposed mandatory COVID-19 tests on travellers from China beginning Jan. 5. All air passengers aged two and older will require a negative result from a test no more than two days before departure from China, Hong Kong or Macau. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said U.S. citizens should reconsider travel to China, Hong Kong and Macau.
EU
European Union government officials recommended on Wednesday that passengers flying from China to the EU should have a negative COVID-19 test before they board. They also suggested all passengers on flights to and from China should wear face masks, that EU governments introduce random testing of passengers arriving from China and that they test and sequence wastewater in airports with international flights and planes arriving from China.

From Jan. 16, the Czech Republic will require travellers from China to show a negative coronavirus test taken up to 48 hours prior to boarding flights.
