East China’s Jiangsu province has loosened the restrictions on travel from one region to another within the province as the covid-19 resurgence has been basically brought under control. Let’s take a close look.
On Tuesday night, 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu adjusted health management measures for cross-regional travel.
Those who have not traveled to or lived in medium and high-risk areas within 14 days can travel freely from one region to another by providing a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours.
Those who cannot provide a negative nucleic acid certificate within 48 hours must undergo a nucleic acid sampling according to the policies of each prefecture-level city.
Those who have traveled to or lived in medium and high-risk areas within 14 days will be required to be quarantined or placed under home-based medical observation.
Community workers with residential quarters in Qixia District of Nanjing City were seen checking the travel experience of those who have returned to Nanjing on Wednesday morning. According to the previous control policies, people entering Nanjing from other regions are subjected to a 3+11 control package. The adjustment of the policy has greatly reduced the work intensity of the community workers.

When implementing the original "3+11" policy, we needed to check about 30 people every day. Under the new policy, we only need to check 17 people today. People who come to Nanjing from Yancheng, Zhenjiang and Suqian no longer need to report to the community in advance.
At the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway Changzhou Xuejia Toll Station, toll collectors are inspecting vehicles one by one. With the policy adjustment, more people are traveling or returning to Changzhou.

Yesterday, the control measures were relaxed, and the company notified me to return to Changzhou to be ready for work resumption.
Traveler from Lianyungang
We do not have to worry about being quarantined after reporting to the community in Changzhou as Lianyungang was cleared of the epidemic, more than 14 days ago.
