Shanghai to put all international arrivals in centralized isolation for 14 days

All international arrivals to China's Shanghai will be put into centralized isolation for 14 days starting Saturday midnight, according to the municipal government.

Before the new rule, arrivals could be isolated at home.

China's capital Beijing has already taken similar measures earlier this week, requiring all international arrivals in the city be subject to quarantine in designated places and receive a nucleic acid test.
