Due to "Lack Of Transparent Data," the US is revising its travel policies for China

In response to worries about the "lack of open data" flowing from Beijing, the US government may impose new COVID-19 requirements on visitors from China, according to US officials on Tuesday.

The action follows the announcement of stricter regulations for tourists from China by Japan, India, and Malaysia in the previous day, claiming an increase in diseases there.

Japan has stated that it will want a negative COVID-19 test result from visitors from China. Malaysia implemented further tracking and monitoring procedures.

The persistent COVID-19 outbreaks in China and the lack of transparent data, including viral genome sequence data, being reported from the PRC have raised growing worries in the international community, the officials added.

As the virus spreads mostly unchecked across the 1.4 billion-person nation of China, certain hospitals and funeral homes there are currently at capacity.

However, according to official figures, there was just one Covid fatality in the seven days before to Monday, which raised questions about the government's data among health professionals and locals. The statistics don't match what other, much less populated nations experienced when they reopened.

In a significant move to loosen restrictions on its borders, which have been largely closed since 2020, China announced on Monday that it would stop forcing arriving tourists to undergo quarantine beginning on January 8.
