Spain, France, and the United Kingdom are the latest of several countries to impose travel restrictions on China amid fears of a renewed COVID-19 outbreak.
China faces a surge in travel after Beijing eased its draconian COVID-19 policies as Chinese citizens look to capitalize on renewed opportunities to journey abroad. On Tuesday morning, airline ticket sales for flights going out of China were 254% greater than the day before. The travel surge has sparked fears in other countries, mainly Western ones, whose leaders worry that the travelers could carry COVID-19 with them.
France also announced a mandatory negative COVID-19 test for all travelers from China, who must also wear a mask during flights to the country. The government had previously said that there was no need for restrictions, as the country believed the number of travelers coming from China was negligible.
