Dear Residents,

In recent weeks, Shenzhen and Dongguan reported a number of local COVID-19 cases. In order to strengthen COVID-19 control and prevention efforts, cut off the further spread of COVID-19, and safeguard people's health and safety, the Guangzhou center for disease control and prevention urges residents who travelled to/from Dongguan and Shenzhen in the past 14 days to do the following:

I. Please report to your community (village), employer or hotel you are staying at immediately upon arriving in Guangzhou. You will need to work with relevant staff to implement health administration measures, including filling in a health notification document and undergoing a health inquiry. You will also need to present your health code for verification, complete a PCR test, and go through 14 days of self-health monitoring.

If you are identified as a person with a travel history to medium- or high-risk areas or a person who has been exposed to infection risks after the epidemiological investigation, you will be subject to health administration measures, such as a 14-day quarantine at a designated facility, a 14-day home quarantine, or a three-day health monitoring at home plus a 11-day self-health-monitoring. 

II. Commuters travelling between Shenzhen/Dongguan and Guangzhou or temporary visitors travelling to Guangzhou for business or leisure are advised to hold negative PCR test reports obtained within 48 hours of arrival. In addition, you are required to report to your community (village), employer or hotel you are staying at to complete relevant health administration measures.

III. You should immediately report to your neighborhood committee (village committee), employer or hotel you are staying at if you experience symptoms like fever, dry cough, fatigue, smell and taste disorders, stuffy nose, runny nose, sore throat, conjunctivitis, muscle pain, and diarrhea. You must also seek professional medical advice at the nearest fever clinic. You should report to the doctor your travel history, wear facial masks during the diagnosis process, and avoid using public transportation when traveling to the fever clinic.

IV. Wear personal protection. Please wear facial masks throughout your journey to Guangzhou. Pay attention to your personal hygiene and practice social distancing. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose with unclean hands. Avoid visiting crowded or enclosed spaces with bad ventilation.
