The decision was made one day after the city released regulations on the centralized quarantine.

The regulation will take effect from January 1, 2022 in which entrants who are fully vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 will undertake three days of self-isolation and those who are single dosed or unvaccinated will bear one-weak self-isolation either at home or in lodging facilities.

People of both groups need subsequent 14 days of self-health surveillance if they are tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 in PCR testing, according to the decision made on December 28.

Those who are aged under 18 and above 65, pregnant women, and with underlying diseases will be isolated with caretakers that are double dosed.

Earlier, the Government agreed to resume scheduled international flight routes to some destinations of high safety.
