What does it mean not to travel far unless necessary?

Don’t travel far unless necessary, which means: don’t travel far away for anything unless necessary. This is a requirement mainly for the special period of the epidemic.

1. Don’t travel far unless necessary.

Avoid traveling to medium- and high-risk areas or areas with reports of local COVID-19 infections. Before traveling, learn in advance the latest epidemic prevention and control policies and travel-related matters at the departure and destination places, plan your itinerary reasonably, and avoid tourism and travel peaks.

2. Personnel in high-risk positions should avoid traveling as much as possible.

People in high-risk positions such as isolation places, designated hospitals, and cold chain-related enterprises should avoid traveling as much as possible. If you really need to travel, you must be away from your job for more than 14 days and have a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours, and report it to your unit. Personnel in high-risk positions should not go out or gather unless necessary after returning to Qiong.

3. Reduce gathering activities.

During holidays, reduce gathering activities such as visiting relatives and friends, gatherings and dinners. We encourage New Year greetings by phone and video, as well as family gatherings and dinners, with the size controlled to less than 10 people.

It is advocated that "happy events should be postponed, funerals should be kept simple, and banquets should not be held." In principle, events with more than 50 people will not be held. Individuals who hold banquets with more than 5 tables and other gatherings on their own must report to the local community neighborhood committee or village committee to implement epidemic prevention and control requirements.

So, for the sake of your own health and safety and the safety of others, try not to travel far away unless there is something special, otherwise it will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself and other people in society.
