The tighter measures include check of passenger’s temperature and health QR code as well as the new requirement to show a negative nucleic acid test report within 48 hours.

Meanwhile, the airport has also coordinated with airlines to adjust the flight schedule so as to ensure safe and orderly travelling. Passengers are also suggested to contact the airlines to confirm the details.
