March 17,Professor Yang Hangjun, w88 casino of International Economics and w88, w88 casinoIn a live telephone interview with China International Television's "China 24" column, he said: The current situation of preventing the import of COVID-19 from overseas is severe, especially Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, which are facing great pressure. However, as a responsible big country, China cannot and will not arbitrarily close the country and completely ban international flights. When the epidemic in China was at its worst, fewer than 30 countries in the world banned entry of Chinese nationals. We have tens of millions of overseas Chinese scattered around the world, including millions of international students. And don’t forget that at the most severe moment of the domestic epidemic, the majority of overseas Chinese actively donated money and materials to help the motherland tide over the difficulties. If they are currently in good health but have a greater risk of infection overseas, what reason do we have to deny them home?
Professor Yang Hangjunsaid that according to data from the National Immigration Bureau, there are currently about 20,000 immigrants entering the country every day, which has brought great challenges to our epidemic prevention and control work. We can take the following response measures: First, the frontline airlines and airports must take strict prevention and control measures, prohibit passengers who have symptoms from boarding, and require all inbound passengers to wear masks throughout the journey. Second, appropriately control the number of inbound international flights and do a good job in domestic diversion. Third, all immigrants, regardless of nationality, are strictly required to be quarantined at home or in a centralized facility for 14 days, and violators must be severely punished. Fourth, the central government should announce in a unified manner, rather than letting each city or province announce one by one, that for all immigrants who are diagnosed after returning to the country and do not participate in domestic medical insurance or other commercial health insurance, in principle, the medical expenses will be borne by the individual patients.
