Guangzhou builds own hotel for quarantine

The city of Guangzhou on the Pearl River Delta will build a quarantine hotel near the airport by September. The accommodation is to have 5,000 rooms isolated from each other, the Financial Times reports. Housing travelers in hotels closer to the city is more likely to lead to infections, the newspaper reproduces a Chinese doctor as saying. More than 80 percent of China travelers have been quarantined in the cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, according to the FT. The hotel’s construction suggests that travelers will continue to face quarantine regulations and entry restrictions (China.Table reported). nib
