問(wèn)：疫情防控期間外國(guó)人是否可以正常出入境？

Question:Are foreigners allowed to entry or exit as usual during the period of epidemic prevention and control?

答：疫情發(fā)生后，中國(guó)政府采取了一系列的有力應(yīng)對(duì)措施。習(xí)近平總書(shū)記指出，我們完全有信心、有能力打贏這場(chǎng)疫情防控阻止戰(zhàn)。目前，除武漢口岸關(guān)閉離漢通道外，我國(guó)口岸簽證機(jī)關(guān)仍正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，外國(guó)人過(guò)境免簽政策未作調(diào)整，各陸、海、空口岸繼續(xù)對(duì)外開(kāi)放運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，外國(guó)人可憑有效的出境入境證件正常出入境。

目前情況下減少人員跨境流動(dòng)有助于有效防控疫情。外國(guó)人可根據(jù)實(shí)際合理安排來(lái)華行程，外國(guó)人可繼續(xù)在華停留居留。對(duì)于確需出境的外國(guó)人，鑒于部分國(guó)家和地區(qū)已針對(duì)疫情實(shí)施相應(yīng)的入境管制措施，建議提前了解清楚目的地國(guó)家或地區(qū)對(duì)人員入境的規(guī)定和做法，避免因無(wú)法入境造成費(fèi)用和時(shí)間損失；前往國(guó)家、地區(qū)允許入境的，應(yīng)當(dāng)提前到達(dá)出境口岸，留出足夠時(shí)間接受相關(guān)部門(mén)檢查；已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)發(fā)熱并伴有咳嗽、呼吸困難等急性呼吸道感染癥狀的，不應(yīng)進(jìn)行國(guó)際旅行，應(yīng)當(dāng)立即就近接受診治，并如實(shí)向有關(guān)管理人員說(shuō)明近期活動(dòng)和密切接觸人員等情況，以便有關(guān)部門(mén)迅速采取排查措施。

Answer: The Chinese government has taken a series of strong measures since the outbreak of pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus. As President Xi Jinping stated, China has full confidence and capability to win the battle against the novel coronavirus outbreak. At present, except for the lockdown of the exit channel of Wuhan ports, all port visa agencies are operating as usual. Visa-free transit policy for foreigners are still effective. All land, sea and air ports of China are functioning. Foreigners can enter or exit as usual with their valid international travel documents.

At present, it is helpful to the epidemic prevention and control by reducing cross  border movements. Foreigners could make reasonable travel arrangements to China  and stay or reside in China as usual. Due to entry restrictions adopted by some countries and regions, it is advised that foreigners who need to exit from  China, should learn in advance entry requirements of destination countries or regions to avoid financial and time losses in case of any entry refusals. Those who travel to countries or regions without entry restrictions, are advised to arrive at exit ports well ahead of departure time for necessary checks. Foreigners having fever with symptoms of acute respiratory infection such as cough or breathing difficulties, should avoid international travels and seek immediate medical treatment at the nearest hospitals. Information such as  recent activities as well as close contacts should be provided to relevant authorities for any necessary control measures.
