China implements new, stricter immigration policies for travelers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Malaysia

Effective September 2, 2021, China-bound travelers departing from San Francisco and Seattle are subject to new entry requirements. These travelers are divided into two groups: those who never contracted COVID-19 and those who previously tested positive for COVID-19 and have since made a full recovery.
