Given the outbreak of covid cases in China, the question arises of the control of Chinese travelers who disembark every day at international airports.
After Emmanuel Macron “called for appropriate measures to protect” the French from Elisabeth Borne’s government, the executive decided to alert French airports and airlines.
Several countries are already imposing tests
According to our information, the Ministry of Transport asked French airlines and airports yesterday to set up a test verification system in order to be ready without delay when decisions are made at the European level.
This Thursday a meeting of the 27 must take place on video on this subject for a “coordinated approach” of the States of the European Union.
Recall that the United States on Wednesday joined a growing number of countries (Italy, Japan, India and Malaysia) that have decided to impose restrictions on travelers from China, in particular the presentation of a negative test.
Beijing has been outraged by Western media’s “hypocrisy, slander and political manipulation” over its health policy.
“Currently, the epidemic situation in China is completely predictable and under control,” Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for Chinese diplomacy, said on Wednesday.
