On the afternoon of November 12, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference to introduce the situation of strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic in winter and the in-depth development of patriotic health campaigns, and answered reporters' questions.
Yin Chengji, deputy director of the National Immigration Bureau, introduced that on the one hand, the prevention and control of the epidemic is strict control of port channels. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has closed 46 land ports and 66 border passages, and strengthened on-duty supervision, strictly prevented overseas personnel from bypassing customs and avoiding entry, and strictly restricted the passage of personnel at land ports and border passages that are still in operation, and only retained the function of cargo operation.
On the other hand, it is necessary to severely crack down on illegal entry and exit illegal and criminal activities. Since the beginning of this year, we have seized more than 700 cases of people from neighboring countries smuggling into China, and investigated and punished more than 5,000 foreigners who entered the country illegally, effectively preventing the import of the epidemic through illegal entry channels.
