But China is facing new outbreaks in a dozen tourist-friendly regions, prompting authorities to order millions of citizens to stay at home, restrict travel between provinces and increase screening tests for coronavirus.
The number of cases remains much lower than in most countries, with 48 new infections reported this Friday.
However, the authorities prefer not to take risks and imposed tens of thousands of people in Beijing, the city that will host the Winter Olympics in February, confine themselves after some cases of coronavirus were detected.
According to the Chinese platform Feichangzhun, half of the flights from the capital’s two main airports were canceled this Friday.
In front of the capital’s medical centers, there were long lines of citizens who wanted to comply with the strict controls against SARS-CoV-2 implemented by the Chinese health authorities.
Tu Anling, a 24-year-old computer scientist, stated that she needed proof to be able to travel by train to Nanjing, a city about 1,000 kilometers south of the capital.
“Initially, I managed to meet my friends here (in Beijing), but the recent outbreak caused many of them to say they were no longer coming,” Tu Anling said.
Many regions are requiring passengers to show a negative test before entering, especially those traveling from cities that have recently reported cases.
