Amendment to improve health, quarantine measures

China Daily  

Visitors line up for check in at Beijing Daxing International Airport. Chinese lawmakers on Friday passed an amendment to China's Frontier Health and Quarantine Law to prevent cross-border transmission of infectious diseases and resolve major public health threats. The General Administration of Customs, China's top customs authority, should also keep upgrading or streamlining quarantine procedures based on monitoring and risk evaluation of domestic and overseas epidemic situations. Liang Ying, an official of the National People's Congress Standing Committee's Legislative Affairs Commission, said on Friday that the revision highlights the improving science and precision of quarantine measures to strike a balance between curbing the spread of infectious diseases and ensuring normal international trade. New revisions have also incorporated lessons learned during fights against previous epidemics and improved both regular quarantine measures and emergency response action at ports amid major contagious outbreaks, he added.
