Expert suggestions for travel

Li Lanjuan, member of the senior expert group of the National Health Commission, said: "During the global pandemic, traveling in China is nevertheless the safest option. The public is OK to go sightseeing at places which are not so crowded."

Zhang Wenhong, director of the infectious disease department of Huashan Hospital, suggested the public should bring their own food when going out, so that they may avoid dining with many other people in shared spaces.

Wang Guangfa, member of the expert group of the National Health Commission, said the public is not advised to visit one place on a large scale, a move to avoid the concentration of people. He also suggests wearing a mask during travel and washing hands when coming back home.

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiological expert at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, deemed gatherings should be carefully avoided even though there is a generally low risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the living environment in China.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism also called for the public to seriously consider individual protection and check one's body temperature at scenic spots. One should immediately inform employees at a scenic spot if feeling unwell.
