France
In response to the developing scenario, France announced on Saturday that it had extended the Covid testing for travelers arriving from China until February 15. The initial deadline for the tests was January 31. Since the beginning of the year, adults traveling from China to France must provide a negative test result 48 hours before the journey in order to board the aircraft.
The French authorities announced that there would be random testing and that anyone who tested positive would need to isolate themselves. They also stated that anyone older than six years old would need to use a face mask aboard the aircraft. After Beijing opted to loosen tight virus restrictions, some nations imposed new travel restrictions on visitors from China. China claims that since the beginning of the month, the number of daily Covid-19 deaths has decreased by over 80%.
