China
Recent COVID-19 outbreaks in Shanghai, Beijing and other large cities have resulted in mass testing, residential lockdowns, closures of schools, businesses and suspension of public transport. Restrictions have impacted daily business and the ability to move around freely. Restrictions in Shanghai are particularly severe. Restrictions include mandatory regular COVID-19 testing with positive cases being subject to the requirements of local authorities and possible transfer to a designated medical or quarantine facility or additional testing. There are ongoing food security issues and a lack of access to hospital intensive care (ICU) facilities in Shanghai.
Access to medical facilities and other essential services has been disrupted. Further COVID-19 outbreaks throughout China are possible and countermeasures including flight suspensions and re-routing may be imposed with little or no warning. Stay informed of local conditions, particularly if you intend to travel within China. Pre-departure testing requirements for China have changed (see 'Travel').
As previously advised, authorities have detained foreigners on grounds of 'endangering national security'. Australians may be at risk of arbitrary detention.

We advise:
Exercise a high degree of caution in China overall due to the impacts of COVID-19.
Other levels apply in some areas.
