He was transferred to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center for isolation and treatment on Nov. 9 morning. All his close contacts including families and colleagues are tested negative and in isolation.

Yingqian Village, Zhuqiao Town, Pudong District is now listed as mid-level risk area. Rest places in Shanghai stay the same.

Current Policy 

People from mid-level risk area, by principle, are not allowed to leave Shanghai. If you DO need to get out, COVID-19 test report will be required.

People from other places are not suggested to visit the mid-level risk area in Shanghai either.

Travel to Sichuan

Except only few sites, most places are open to foreign travelers who hold permanent residence ID card in China. So, if you have travel plan for Sichuan or if your Sichuan tour is just around the corner, don't worry. Sichuan is basically safe to go!

Just to be sure, please kindly confirm with the attraction site you are going to and the hotel you plan to stay in advance as different places may have different policies.

For Example

If you are planning to visit Siguniang Mountain, it's not open to foreign travelers yet, even if you hold residence visa. So don't even think about it.

If you are traveling to Jiuzhaigou, as long as you are not from high risk areas, we are good to go!

At last, please don't underestimate the pandemic.Wear a mask everywhere you go to protect ourselves as well as others.
