China has been strengthening control and prevention measures at airports and border cities to contain the threat of imported COVID-19 infections.

As the threat of imported cases grows, Chinese customs offices, airlines, and airports have been adopting stricter measures to prevent possible cross-border infections. Health workers are collecting throat swabs for nucleic acid tests and blood samples for antibody tests.

Efforts across the country remain focused on guarding against a possible second wave of the epidemic.
