Health authorities announced that they will lift the mandatory 14-day quarantine for people from the Chinese prefectures of Kashgar and Kizilsu Kirgiz, in Xinjiang province.
In a statement, the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre Centre Coordinator justified the lifting of restrictions, in effect since November 2, with developments in pandemic control in those regions.
The decision takes effect from 12:00am on November 25, the date from which people who want to enter the territory and have been in those prefectures in the previous 14 days are no longer obliged to the so-called medical observation period for 14 days.
The quarantine had been imposed earlier this month, after “15 asymptomatic and infected people were found in the cantons of Karekaiqike and Pilal, in the Akto district of the autonomous prefecture of Kizilsu Kirgiz” in northwest China, the Center indicated.
