Is there an asterisk on the itinerary card now?

Yes, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued an announcement on June 29, 2022, canceling the "asterisk" mark on the communication itinerary card from now on.

The "asterisk" mark on the communication itinerary card indicates that the smartphone user has visited one or more cities in medium and high-risk areas in the previous 14 days, but it does not mean that the user has actually visited these medium and high-risk areas. This label is only used as a travel reminder and has nothing to do with the user's personal health.

The "asterisk" of the communication itinerary card has played a certain role in bringing people who may be at risk of infection into the field of prevention and control to the maximum extent, especially in the special period when the epidemic situation is severe and complicated.

Detailed introduction:

"Travel cassette star is just a product of a stage. At that time, we adopted this method in the absence of precise prevention and control conditions. "

Tan Xiao, a professor at the School of Public Health of Wuhan University, introduced the news to the East Interface. Previously, travel cards were used to star cities with medium and high-risk areas, but under the current precise prevention and control measures, the delineation of medium and high-risk areas is narrower and clearer. Therefore, canceling the asterisk given to the whole area on the itinerary card is another embodiment of accurate prevention and control.
