Beijing orders quarantine for all international arrivals in capital
BEIJING, March 11, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – All international arrivals in Beijing
must undergo two weeks of quarantine, a city official said Wednesday, as
China tries to limit imported cases of the new coronavirus.
Beijing had already required quarantine for people arriving from hard-hit
countries including South Korea, Iran, Italy and Japan but Zhang Qiang, a
city government official, said at a press conference that those landing from
any nation would now face 14-day isolation.
