The French and Spanish authorities have imposed COVID-19 entry restrictions on passengers from China. This follows an increase in the number of coronavirus cases in China since the country reopened its borders in 2022. Travelers will now need to present negative COVID-19 test results or proof of complete vaccination against the virus.
According to the Spanish Ministry of Health, travelers from China will have to go through a documentary, visual, and temperature check as well as a diagnostic test for the SARS-CoV-2 infection that is now active at the point of entry into Spain. while France has also decided to implement health checks on flights from China, beginning next Thursday, January 5, 2023, by a decree signed on December 30 of last year.
The ministry stated, "The resolution also requires an EU Digital COVID Certificate (CCD-UE) or equivalent for all passengers on flights from China starting next January 3," adding that the measures will remain in effect until February 15, 2023.
"Faced with the resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic in China and with a view to the very imminent reopening of the borders of this state, the decree establishes health control measures to ensure the protection of the French population."
Travelers from China to France must provide the negative findings of a coronavirus test performed within the last 48 hours of their trip. The Minister of Health has emphasized the importance of a complete and updated vaccination against the virus for the Spanish people. The new regulations will only apply to flights from the mainland People's Republic of China; travelers from other countries such as Hong Kong will not be affected.
The Spanish Ministry of Health is encouraging the EU to adopt a unified stance on the rules for entrance for Chinese visitors. Beginning January 1, 2023, all Chinese passengers six years of age and older must board the aircraft while wearing a mask. As a result of the Ebola outbreak, France has joined the list of European countries that have reinstated entry restrictions for visitors from China.
