From the beginning of the next month foreign citizens who enter China won't have to fill in forms about their state of health, that were abolished to simplify the entry procedure because of the Olympic Games of 2008.
Instead of this tourists just will have to tell frontier guards about their diseases. But people who enter the country will still have to fill in customs declarations and draw up a visa.
The state health registration procedure was introduced after the atypical pneumonia epidemic at the end of 2004. It caused many complaints.
Next year Chinese authorities are expecting 70 million foreigners, most of them will come to watch the Olympic Games in Beijing It is about 40 million people more than last year. |
