There is no restriction, he said, on trips to China or any other nation, and affirmed that the island’s entry points are covered by properly equipped health personnel.

He insisted on the responsibility of travelers to go to the health authorities before 72 hours once they arrive in the country, to declare their status as a traveler and contribute to effective epidemiological surveillance.
