Does your workplace restrict travel rights during the 2021 Spring Festival?

Generally not.

Judging from the current epidemic prevention and control situation, there will be no restrictions on the movement of people or returning home during the Spring Festival in 2021 like last year. Although the Spring Festival holiday is relatively long and the movement of people will be relatively large, which adds a certain degree of difficulty to epidemic prevention and control, the Spring Festival in 2021 is likely to be like the previous National Day holiday. People in low-risk areas can travel freely and enjoy all aspects of life. Normally, there will be no impact. However, some areas may be affected by the epidemic and travel will be subject to certain restrictions. This mainly depends on the epidemic risk level and prevention and control efforts in each region.

In general, the 2021 Spring Festival will not be like last year’s Spring Festival. Traffic control will not be implemented, and people will not be forced to quarantine at home. Most people can move freely and meet their normal daily needs.

Will the movement of people be restricted during the 2021 Spring Festival

Will the 2021 Spring Festival be affected by the epidemic?

Yes. Although the COVID-19 epidemic has been well controlled, my country's population mobility during the Spring Festival in 2021 will not return to last year's level and will still decline significantly. We will look at this problem from several aspects:

1. The global epidemic is still severe

As of September 7, 90,551 people have been diagnosed and 464 have been diagnosed. There is only one suspected case. 85,350 people have been cured and 4,737 have died. The day before, 35 new cases were diagnosed, 12 of which were imported from abroad. There are 21 new cases in Hong Kong. Most provinces and cities have achieved zero new cases and have achieved good prevention and control results.

In stark contrast, the overseas epidemic is still very serious, with 27.236 million confirmed cases overseas, 228,000 new cases and 883,000 deaths the day before yesterday. The number of new cases in a single day in the United States is still around 30,000, while in Brazil it exceeds 10,000. More importantly, the total number of confirmed cases in India, the world's second most populous country, is 4.2 million, making it the world's second largest number of cases, with as many as 91,000 new cases in a single day.

Will the 2021 Spring Festival Transport be affected by the epidemic

Judging from the current trend, the possibility of the global epidemic ending by the 2021 Spring Festival is very low. Although the epidemic in other countries is still very serious, the flow of people between China and abroad will still be affected.

2. Domestic prevention and control cannot be relaxed, and the movement of people must be minimized.

Although the current epidemic situation in our country has been significantly controlled, it does not mean that the epidemic has completely ended.

On the one hand, the epidemic situation in other countries is still serious, especially in neighboring countries such as Russia and India. Until the epidemic is fully controlled, there is always the risk of imported cases. Therefore, we still need to continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention, especially focusing on the prevention and control of the spread of imported cases in our country, such as the previous cluster transmission in new places.

On the other hand, the spread of the new coronavirus is strong, and some cured patients may recover. Although there are only more than 400 confirmed cases in our country, the epidemic prevention situation still needs a second rebound. Judging from the progress of the research and development of the new coronavirus, it may not be possible to achieve large-scale vaccination across the country during the Spring Festival in 2021. Therefore, it is very important to do our best to reduce the movement of people and prevent and control it. At that time, relevant departments and enterprises will try their best to guide and reduce the flow of people.

3. The number of people going out this year will decrease, and the flow of passengers returning home will also decrease
