| Subject: | Effective from 00:00 on October 13, 2022 (scheduled arrival time), inbound travelers are exempted from home quarantine and are required to undergo 7 days of self-prevention (0+7). Details are as follows. Please be informed. |
| Explanation: |
| 1. | In accordance with the letter of the Municipal Government dated October 13, 2022, Ref. No. 1110286390. |
| 2. | Based on the monitoring of domestic and international epidemic trends showing a stable and controllable direction, and an assessment of domestic epidemic prevention and medical capacity, in order to move towards normal life with epidemic prevention, starting from October 13, 2022, inbound travelers are exempted from home quarantine and are required to undergo 7 days of self-prevention. Related measures, operational principles/regulations/procedures/mechanisms, and forms established in response to the home quarantine policy will also be adjusted. |
| 3. | The key points of the aforementioned 0+7 measure are summarized as follows: |
| (1) | Duration of self-prevention: Exemption from home quarantine, replaced by 7 days of self-prevention, starting from the day of entry as Day 0 for 7 days of self-prevention. |
| (2) | Self-prevention location: Primarily at one's own residence, relatives' or friends' residence, or hotels and guesthouses that meet the "one person, one room" (with private bathroom) condition. If appropriate disinfection can be performed after each use of the bathroom, self-prevention can be carried out in a personally used room without a private bathroom. If all cohabitants or travel companions in the household are also undergoing self-prevention, the "one person, one room" restriction does not apply. |
| (3) | Epidemic prevention regulations to be observed during the self-prevention period: Please refer to the announced self-prevention guidelines. For international students and group travelers, if there are other self-prevention regulations or related guidelines, please follow the regulations set by the relevant competent authorities. |
| (4) | Testing measures: |
| 1. | Eligibility and quantity of distribution: |
| (1) | Upon arrival, international port personnel will distribute 4 doses of rapid antigen test kits to inbound travelers aged 2 years and above (based on age on the day of entry), and provide health education at the same time. |
| (2) | Considering the age limit for the applicable subjects of the rapid test kits, inbound travelers under 2 years of age are not required to perform rapid testing during their self-prevention period. |
| (3) | If inbound travelers report not receiving the rapid test kits, incomplete kits, or are unable to complete the rapid test due to accidental loss, improper operation, etc., replacement kits will generally not be provided. |
| 2. | Timing of testing: |
| (1) | On the day of entry or Day 1 of self-prevention (D0/D1). |
| (2) | Before going out during the self-prevention period, a negative rapid test result within the last 2 days is required. |
| (3) | When symptoms appear during the self-prevention period. |
| 3. | The aforementioned tests are to be conducted by inbound travelers themselves. If the rapid test result is positive, please seek medical attention as soon as possible. Through remote medical/video consultations, or by entrusting relatives/friends or contacting the Municipal Health Bureau to arrange for a visit to a clinic or a responsible healthcare facility for home care, a doctor will assess and confirm the positive rapid test result. |
