After 2 years we are still here talking about it, the pandemic from Covid Unfortunately, it still has not completely ceased even though, according to the numbers, the danger seems to be decreased quite a lot and the contagions are contents And under control.

In Europe the displacement situation is quite quiet, there are no longer any special restrictions and one can travel without any problems. Outside the EU, however, there are still countries that impose troublesome restrictions such as quarantine or several swabs before departure and upon arrival.
Among these states precisely the China, where the situation is not the best: residents have experienced months infernal, the government had practically segregated at home, they went viral video of people literally barred in the house without the possibility of going out, creating quite a bit of controversy.
Despite the special province of Hong Kong is looking for a middle ground, China continues to apply a "zero-Covid" policy, at present in fact visitors are forced to observe a 10-day quarantine upon their arrival, conducting swabs regularly.
At least so far, something seems to be moving and it is fresh news that the government of the Rising Sun wants to reduce this pesky obligation from 10 days to, hear hear, seven...
Certainly if China takes a step in go ahead, will be positive news, but reducing by only 3 days the quarantine, which is already abundant in itself, will certainly not entice the tourists visiting the country.
Previously, to enter China you needed 7 days of monitoring in the hotel, plus other 3 days Of quarantine at home. This modification will change to 2 days of hotel quarantine and 5 days of home quarantine.
The news will be positive basically for residents, foreign workers and students because hardly a tourist will feel like taking 7 days of quarantine to enter a country, both for the time and the cost exorbitant that this implies.
Also, there is little clarity on how the new domestic quarantine rules apply to foreigners and other visitors non-residents.
Hoping that China will follow Hong Kong's model and reduce the quarantine from 7 to 3 days, in the meantime let's take this positive news and keep hoping.
