Returnees need negative test results

春节返乡须持核酸证明

China's top health authority said on Wednesday that people intending to travel home to rural areas during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday must provide negative novel coronavirus test results taken within seven days of embarkation as part of measures to cope with rising risks of the virus' spread in winter. About 1.7 billion passenger trips are expected during this year's 40-day travel rush around Spring Festival, which falls on Feb 12. That is down by 40% compared to 2019, before the emergence of the virus, but a 10% increase on last year, according to the Ministry of Transport.

1月20日，国家卫健委网站发布通知称，冬季新冠病毒传播风险增加，为做好疫情防控工作，春节返乡人员需持有7日以内核酸检测阴性证明。2月12日是今年的农历春节，交通运输部预计，为期40天的春运期间将发送旅客17亿人次，这一数字较疫情暴发前的2019年春运下降了40%，但较去年春运增加了10%。

The projected daily passenger trips - about 40 million a day - are double the current volume, putting the country's disease control work to the test, the ministry said. According to a notice released on the website of the National Health Commission, people returning to the countryside should also isolate themselves at home for 14 days and take nucleic acid tests every seven days.

今年春运期间预计每日发送旅客量为4000万人次左右，较当前客流量增长一倍，疾控工作面临挑战。根据国家卫健委的通知，春节返乡人员还需实行14天居家健康监测，每7天开展一次核酸检测。
