Quarantine for inbound travellers will be cut to five days of quarantine at designated sites plus three days of home quarantine ('5+3'). Relevant persons are not allowed to go out, and are subject to multiple nucleic acid tests on:
1. Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 5 during quarantine at designated sites;
2. Day 1 and Day 3 during home quarantine.
Inbound travellers, upon completion of quarantine at the first destination, will not be required to undergo quarantine again if they travel to another city.
The circuit breaker mechanism for inbound flights will be cancelled.
The negative COVID-19 tests requirement for inbound travellers will be reduced to once in 48 hours before boarding.
Those with cycle threshold values smaller than 35 in COVID-19 nucleic acid tests will be identified as positive cases.

Inbound "important business travellers and sports groups" will be directly transferred to closed-loop management areas, exempted from quarantine.
