On April 23, 2020, according to the Heilongjiang government, the "city code" will be set for the local residents when the confirmed cases, suspected cases, asymptomatic infections or their close contacts appear in their community. If outsiders with a city code are found in the medium-risk areas like Suifenhe, first they will be quarantined there in a centralized manner for 14 days, and then they will be transferred to their hometown for another 7-day centralized isolation, and then undergo another 14-day home quarantine.Extension of Quarantine
Due to the prevention and control of the outbreak, multiple local governments have proposed to extend the isolation period appropriately based on the actual situation.
