These include:

- Strict adherence to the efforts and measures taken by the PRC government to stop the spread of coronavirus and to eliminate the consequences of the disease;

- Effective from January 19, 2021, the quarantine period has been extended to 28 days to monitor the health of those coming to the capital Beijing from abroad. Those who want to enter Beijing from abroad through other Chinese cities will be quarantined in those cities for 21 days before entering the capital. Upon arrival in Beijing, their health will be monitored again for 7 days;

- Those planning to return to Uzbekistan from China are advised to use the services of the Chinese airlines, which operate charter flights on the route “Xi'an-Tashkent-Xi'an”. Students are given discounts.

In addition, citizens of Uzbekistan in China may fly to Seoul and, without leaving the airport transit zone, travel to Uzbekistan on the route “Tashkent-Seoul-Tashkent”, using the services of Uzbekistan Airways JSC, which is operated weekly on Fridays.
