China’s State Council has introduced a series of polices to discourage
people from gathering in crowds on public transportation and in schools
and cinemas to avoid spreading COVID-19 during this year’s Spring
Festival. According to China’s State Council, migrant workers
are encouraged to avoid travelling back home and key provinces for such
workers in China, such as Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, Central
China’s Henan Province and East China’s Anhui Province, are required to
establish a system where they can register and report the transportation
of migrant workers. During the mass transportation during
Spring Festival, travelers are encouraged to use facial recognition and
health codes, as well as social distancing. For public vehicles,
passenger capacities are to be restricted according to different levels
of COVID-19 risks in different areas, and the vehicles must be
thoroughly disinfected. Entertainment venues, such as cinemas,
will still be subject to strict measures during this year’s Spring
Festival. According to the China Film Distribution and Exhibition
Association (CFDEA), the total number of people allowed in one theatre
is still limited, and viewers must have their temperature checked before
entry and wear masks at all times.
