| On differences between a visitor and a resident. (Caroline must know this by now...so this is for others who are just curious about this topic.) Changing rules in Shanghai (16 May 2003) http://english.eastday.com/epublish/gb/paper1/905/class000100022/hwz135298.htm Summary -- Shanghai officials further clarified yesterday that local residents, expatriates and people who have stayed in the city for six months or longer must undergo quarantine for two weeks at home or a designated place if they return to the city from any 'SARS hard-hit region.' Visitors arriving from these regions must allow the hotels they are staying in or the neighborhood committees responsible for their temporary residences to take their temperature twice a day, fill in a daily health record form, and keep track of their whereabouts. "We don't require travelers and visitors to be isolated during their stay in Shanghai if they do not develop flu-like symptoms," explained Yang Guoqiang, director of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, yesterday. |
