Starting Monday, March 14th, passengers entering China from Korea will require an antigen test, in addition to PCR. I think Korea is the only country besides the US now to require this extra test.

近期，因部分乘客赴华前未能严格进行自我闭环管理，随意外出聚会、就餐、购物，极大增加感染概率和传染风险 ，并造成多个航班熔断，给其他乘客和航司造成巨大损失。
为切实保障乘客生命健康安全，根据国内指示，自韩国时间3月14日（星期一）零时起，自仁川机场赴华乘客需增加1次登机前快速抗原检测。综合考虑航班时间、乘客数量和机构检测能力等因素，具体实施办法如下：
一、搭乘上午10:30及之后航班的乘客(即含10:30航班），请于航班起飞前6小时内在机场指定检测机构（名单见附件一，须事先预约）进行1次快速抗原检测并取得阴性报告（纸质或电子版），办理值机时连同乘机绿色健康码一并向航司出示。
二、搭乘上午10:30以前航班的乘客，可选择以下任一检测方式并取得阴性报告（纸质或电子版），办理值机时连同乘机绿色健康码一并 向航司出示：

Not directly related to China, but:
Korea drops quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated travelers. Effective March 21 for those vaccinated and registered in Korea system; effective April 1 for all vaccinated, whether registered or not.
It's China related in that more and more countries are opening up, including neighboring countries.

China hasn't got many cases, so they won't open up, IMO. In fact, the more the gap is between other countries count, and China's, the more likely they'll increase quarantine.
Of course.....this will all change if/when the cases start skyrocketing in China also....

They are opening up, because they now [suddenly in some cases] have so many cases themselves (S. Korea is at ~300'000/day), it seems futile to still require quarantine. New Zealand did the same thing.

It appears that Shanghai is now approaching "bad" status in terms of case numbers. And, the effects are starting to show. For example, both JA Kerry Centre and Reel Plaza were locked down last night. Furthermore, if any of us fancy going to Zhejiang, we need to quarantine there. Finally, some of the international schools here have implemented insanely intense testing regimens (e.g. 2 tests per day of various flavors).

Yeah its over 1000/day. I think there were 1100 new cases yesterday. Anyhow, it seems to have come to shanghai so Im kind of dreading being here for the next few weeks of what Im sure will be numerous nose jabs and few opportunities to enjoy myself.

Well, we better brace ourselves, is what I am predicting: the next few weeks might get real brutal...and not only in Shanghai.

Upon checking into my Shanghai quarrantine hotel this afternoon I was suprised to be told I'd be released after 14 days if tested negative to continue my journey back to Handan, I was expecting to have to do another 7 days somewhere in Shanghai....

That's great news, but be forewarned that they could take on an extra 7 days up until the last moment.

Once you get to your destination, you will be quarantined for another 14-28 days.
This has been the practice in Shanghai.
