China: Authorities downgrade all areas of Guang'an, Sichuan Province, to low risk as of June 2 /update 1

Event

Officials in Sichuan Province have downgraded the last remaining medium-risk areas in Guang'an to low risk as of June 2. Officials previously designated multiple locations in Linshui County, Guang'an, as medium-risk with tighter curbs due to COVID-19 activity. Authorities will gradually lift localized measures such as stay-at-home orders, and nonessential business closures in the affected locations. Movement controls could recur or occur in communities if new COVID-19 cases emerge. Strict measures typically last at least two weeks from the date of the most recent confirmed community case.

Lingering business and transport disruptions are possible as businesses and recreational facilities gradually reopen in the affected areas of Guang'an. Other provincial and municipal governments will likely withdraw COVID-19 testing and/or quarantine rules for those with recent travel history to the affected areas of Guang'an.

Advice

Strictly heed the instructions of authorities. Confirm appointments. Remain cooperative if approached and questioned by law enforcement officers.
