In order to protect the health and well-being of locals and foreigners who travel or return to Suzhou, the municipal government will intensify science-based and targeted epidemic prevention and control measures to contain the outbreak and avoid a rebound.

Foreign friends who travel or return to Suzhou are urged to:

1. Cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control measures launched by the prevention and control headquarters of various localities. Please follow “iSuzhou”, an information and service platform on WeChat for foreign nationals in Suzhou, to get up-to-date information.

2. Immediately report to your neighborhood committee or the hotel where you stay and truthfully report your travel history. If you have recently traveled to Japan, South Korea or other regions and countries affected by COVID-19, please cooperate with the neighborhood committee by undergoing 14 days of isolated medical observation at home or at designated localities and refrain from going outside during this period.

3. Please protect yourself. Minimize travel and avoid crowds, gatherings and group meals. Always wear a face mask correctly when going out. Maintain good hand and mouth hygiene. Please monitor your health closely. If you experience fever, fatigue, difficulty in breathing or other symptoms, please avoid contact with others, wear a medical mask, and promptly seek medical consultation at the fever clinics of designated hospitals. Please truthfully inform the doctor of your travel and contact history.

The city of Suzhou is carrying out standardized prevention and control measures. The government will provide all necessary support and services. Please feel free to call the "12345" service hotline or Suzhou Foreign Affairs Office’s 24-hour service hotlines (see attached) should you need further help.
