Entry/Exit Procedures

Screening

In a reversal of long-standing policy, WHO now recommends that all countries implement temperature screening at points of entry for passengers arriving from COVID-19–affected countries. Screening should be accompanied by dissemination of risk-communication messages at points of entry to later capture asymptomatic persons who are in the incubation phase.

Despite exit screening beginning in early January at 3 major rail stations in Wuhan and at Wuhan International Airport (until cessation of international flights on January 23) and at all international airports in China for several weeks.

Entry screening using questionnaires, fever screening, thermal scanning, or visual inspection at international ports of entry in almost all countries is now in place as stated above. In most cases, anyone with fever and respiratory symptoms who has been to China in the past 14 days will be detained and isolated or placed in self-isolation. Anyone without symptoms but with travel to China in the past 14 days may be placed in quarantine or self-quarantine depending on where in China exposures may have taken place. Additional information is provided for the following countries:

Australia: All passengers who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or immediate family of citizens who have been in China in the past 14 days, arriving at all points of entry, will undergo additional screening.

Canada: All international passengers who have been in Hubei Province, arriving at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and Vancouver International Airport, will undergo additional screening, such as temperature checks and questionnaires; travelers not showing signs or symptoms of illness will receive a handout advising them to follow up with their health care provider.

U.K.: All passengers on direct flights from China arriving at Heathrow International Airport are subject to monitoring.

U.S.: All passengers who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or immediate family of citizens who have been in China in the past 14 days, arriving at 11 points of entry (including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, O’Hare International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport), will undergo additional screening.

Asymptomatic Arrivals

Additionally, many countries have begun instituting management procedures for asymptomatic arrivals (possibly exposed in the past 14 days) from Hubei Province and elsewhere in China, ranging from self-monitoring to mandatory quarantine. Information is provided for the following countries:

Australia: Arrivals from anywhere in China should self-quarantine and self-monitor for 14 days.

France: Arrivals from Hubei Province will be subject to mandatory quarantine in a government-designated location for 14 days; those from elsewhere in China should self-monitor.

Hong Kong: Arrivals from anywhere in China will be subject to mandatory quarantine in a government-designated location for 14 days; those exempt include select government officials, flight and cruise-ship crew members, and cross-boundary drivers.

Japan: Arrivals from Hubei Province should self-quarantine and self-monitor for 14 days; no protocol is in place for those from elsewhere in China.

Singapore: Arrivals from Hubei Province will be subject to mandatory quarantine in a government-designated location for 14 days; those from elsewhere in China should self-quarantine and self-monitor for 14 days.

Taiwan: Arrivals from anywhere in China, Hong Kong, and Macau should self-quarantine for 14 days.

U.K.: Arrivals from Hubei Province should self-quarantine for 14 days. Arrivals from elsewhere in China as well as from Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, or Macau who develop symptoms of cough or fever or shortness of breath within 14 days should self-isolate at that time and contact public health authorities.

U.S.: Arrivals from Hubei Province will be subject to mandatory quarantine or self-quarantine and active monitoring for 14 days; those from elsewhere in China should self-quarantine and self-monitor with public health supervision.
