The Chinese National Immigration and Emigration Administration says China’s strict immigration and emigration policy remains unchanged as the epidemic intensifies in the country as well as in neighboring countries and regions. Chen Jie, a spokesman for China’s National Immigration and Emigration Administration, said on Monday that the corona epidemic was spreading in many parts of China.

The outgoing travel of Chinese people during the epidemic also became low. In the first quarter of this year, Chinese immigration agencies screened 30 million people entering and leaving the country. This is a decrease of 5.9% over the same period last year, he said.
