Tianjin has cleared all medium and high-risk areas for COVID-19, the municipal COVID-19 prevention and control headquarters announced Wednesday.
The announcement came after an apartment unit in the city's Hebei District was downgraded to low risk on Wednesday, thus bringing the entire city of Tianjin to the low-risk category.
Tianjin had launched several rounds of citywide nucleic acid testing since new COVID-19 cases, attributable to the Omicron variant, began to emerge in early January.
From Jan. 8 to Feb. 15, the city had reported a total of 425 confirmed local COVID-19 cases, with 410 having been discharged from hospital after recovery.
However, if you are going to travel you should call the Governmental Hotline 12345 to confirm if need a NAT test report or not.
People coming from high risk or medium risk areas still need to provide a NAT test report.
Tianjin railways, airports, long-distance passenger stations and highway passages will no longer check 48-hour NAT test report for those who leave Tianjin (except those who enter Beijing). The inspection points for highway passages (except for road passages entering Beijing) will be removed, and the 48-hour NAT test report and the green health code will no longer be inspected; railways, airports, and long-distance passenger stations (except passengers entering Beijing) will cancel the 48-hour NAT test report inspection.
