​Border security stressed in epidemic prevention

China will strengthen border entry and exit control to prevent the import of COVID-19 cases, an official of the National Immigration Administration said on Aug 4. Liu Haitao, director-general of the administration's Department of Frontier Inspection and Management, said at a news briefing staff members at ports will strictly inspect overseas flights and vessels as well as passengers. For Chinese citizens who need to enter or exit the country for international pandemic control efforts or resumption of work and production, the administration will also accept and process applications promptly or provide expedited services to support global pandemic prevention and economic recovery. China will also strengthen law enforcement cooperation with neighboring countries and regions, conduct joint patrols and jointly crack down on illegal border crossings, he added.
