从12月2日晚上23：59起，所有到达新加坡的航空旅客，包括从第一组别国家/地区前来的，都必须在出发前2天内接受冠病检测，结果呈阴性才可登机。

This tightening measure will last for one month, but the Singapore government will consider extending the epidemic prevention measures if necessary.

这一收紧措施会持续一个月，但在必要时新加坡政府会考虑延长防疫措施。

And Singapore lists Group I countries/regions, including Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Passengers arriving from Group II, III and IV countries, non-vaccinated channel, are required to undergo PCR testing upon entry. Passengers arriving in Singapore via the Air VTL programme are required to undergo ART testing at the Rapid Test Centre on day 3 and day 7 after arrival. No additional ART testing is required for passengers entering Singapore via the Singapore-Malaysia Land VTL. If necessary, the Singapore Government will implement additional vaccination measures.

France

法国The French Prime Minister recently issued an executive order "relaxing" the conditions under which certificates of vaccination for COVID-19 can be obtained in France.

法国总理近日发布行政令，“放宽”了可在法国获得新冠疫苗接种证明的条件。The COVID-19 vaccine, developed by China National, Kexing and the Serum Institute of India, has been approved for inclusion in the WHO emergency list but has not yet been approved by the European Medicines Agency and officially marketed in the European Union, and people who receive these vaccines cannot obtain a "health pass" under previous French vaccination regulations.

目前包括中国国药、科兴和印度血清研究所在内研发的新冠疫苗，虽已获批进入世卫组织紧急使用清单，但尚未通过欧洲药品管理局审批并在欧盟正式上市，按照法国之前的防疫条例，接种这些疫苗的人无法获得“健康通行证”。Nowadays, both employees and visitors to France can obtain a "health pass" by completing a WHO-approved vaccination and then receiving a supplementary dose of an EU-approved vaccine such as Pfizer, Modena or AstraZeneca in France.如今，无论来法国工作的职员还是游客，只要完成接种世卫组织认可的疫苗，再在法国本土补打一剂辉瑞、莫德纳或阿斯利康等欧盟批准上市的疫苗就可以获得“健康通行证”。

Australia

澳大利亚A few days ago, Morrison officially announced that the country will be reopened in November as soon as the COVID-19 vaccination rate reaches 80%! Those who have received the TGA-recognized vaccine will be allowed to enter the country and be quarantined at home for 7 days. The Chinese CoronaVac and the Indian vaccine have been recognized by the TGA as safe and effective and are allowed to be used for international travel after being unsealed at the national border.

日前，莫里森官宣：只要新冠疫苗接种率达到80%，11月就将重开国境！已接种TGA认可疫苗者入境，可居家隔离7天。中国科兴疫苗、印度疫苗已被TGA承认了安全有效性，被允许在国境解封后用于国际旅行。The entry quarantine policy will be linked to vaccination status:

入境隔离政策将和疫苗接种情况挂钩：-Citizens and PRs who are fully vaccinated will be allowed home quarantine for 7 days.

-完全接种疫苗的公民和PR将被允许居家隔离7天；-Australians who have not been fully vaccinated will still be required to undergo a 14-day hotel quarantine.-未完全接种疫苗的澳洲人将仍被要求接受14天酒店隔离。On the question of the order of entry after the opening of the country's gates, Morrison said：

关于国门开放后入境者的次序问题，莫里森表示：The first step would be to allow fully vaccinated Australians to travel overseas and to allow vaccinated Australians stranded overseas to return home.

第一步将是允许完全接种疫苗的澳人到海外旅行，并允许滞留海外的接种了疫苗的澳人回国；The second priority will focus on the introduction of skilled migrants and international students who have received two doses of vaccine.

第二步优先的重点将是引进技术移民和接种了两剂疫苗的国际学生；Lastly, it is the entry of international visitors, such as tourists and other categories of people.最后，才是国际游客的入境，例如旅客等类别的人群。

Currently, Immigration has updated the approval time for visitor visas for applications submitted from China - 278 days. This is a qualitative leap from the previous wait time of 418 days.

The recommendations are applicable to the EU-27, as well as to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, but are not mandatory.

In accordance with the EU Council recommendation, stricter anti-epidemic restrictions should be applied to non-essential travellers from countries and territories outside the "Safe List", while anti-epidemic restrictions should be gradually lifted for non-essential travellers from countries and territories on the "Safe List". They should be gradually lifted.

Shanghai became the first city in China to launch a policy that simplifies currency exchange services for foreigners.

Foreigners who work in companies registered in Shanghai will no longer need to bring documents such as employment contracts, proof of income and tax completion certificates when they want to exchange their money in Chinese yuan to foreign currencies.

For the service, all they need is a fast pass, which they can apply for at the district's foreigner work permit office by filling out a Fast Pass on Foreign Talents Remuneration Foreign Exchange, which includes personal, employment and tax information.

With the fast pass, foreigners can purchase foreign exchange at all banks in Shanghai without further verification for an unlimited number of times as long as the total purchases don't exceed their legal income.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange's Shanghai branch said the policy has been gradually rolled out across the city, and it will direct banks to develop related e-banking functions.

China has launched its own digital payment method, the Central Bank e-CNY Digital Currency and is rolling it out in shops around the country. Different from WeChat Pay and Alipay that are run by private corporations, the e-CNY is issued by the Chinese government through the People's Bank of China.

e-CNY run by the government will roll out fast, and most likely take over the dominant position currently held by Tencent and Alibaba's payment systems.

And the good news: Foreigners can already use it, with just a few limitations. And for any foreigner who's ever struggled with things like real name verification on WeChat and Alipay, there is good news. In our first tests, absolutely no name verification was required. Amen! In fact, we set up the app without providing a real name, just a phone number, and it worked fine.

Here's How You Set It Up

Currently you can't find the app on the app stores directly but have to redeem a special code that you use to get access in APP stores, presumably to limit the numbers of people that start using the currency in the early stages.

You get the QR code directly from one of the 6 partner banks: ICBC, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications, Postal Savings Bank.

We have listed the codes for ICBC and Bank of China below, for any of the other bank just visit any branch and ask for their code.

Scanning the code with WeChat brings you to a welcome page. Click on the button with your respective phone type, then you'll be led to a page where you have to enter your name, passport number and phone number.

On the ICBC app version that we tried we would get an error message if we entered our passport number, but it worked perfectly find with just leaving the passport number empty.
Receive an SMS and enter the code. Make sure your location settings on your phone are turned on, or you will get an error message.

Agree to the terms, click the red confirmation button and you'll get a code.

Copy the code, open the Apple App store, click on your profile picture and go to "Redeem Gift Card or Code". This will now bring you to a page where you can download the app.

The e-CNY app is currently only available on the Chinese App store, so you can only do this if - and that's the main limitation we mentioned at the beginning - your app store location is set to China. If your app store is set to another country, it's easy to switch. There are tons of tutorials out there about how to do that.

Congratulations, you now have China's newest payment app on your phone.

It's a clean, simple user interface with a well-known face looking at us.

Top Up Your Wallet
As a Chinese citizen with an ID Card number, or a foreigner with a Green Card, you can directly connect the app to your bank account, just like you do with WeChat Pay and Alipay. Then, any payment will automatically be deducted from your bank account.

As a foreigner without a Chinese ID Card number you can still use the app, but have to top up your wallet, and are then limited to whatever amount you have in your wallet. To top up your wallet just press the other button that says "充钱包 (Top Up)", then select "选择银行 (Select Bank)".

However, this will only work if you are using the online banking version of these banks, and if you have their app installed. Select your bank, it will open your bank app. Type your password, select the amount, and that's it.

How to Pay With the App

We couldn't find any official stats, but judging from looking around WeChat Moments the system is rolling out quickly in at least Shanghai and Beijing. We walked into the Family Mart next to our office and they already have e-CNY installed at their self-service terminals. You can recognize it by the stickers.

Just to repeat this, because it sounds so surreal from western point of view: We paid with a government run e-currency at a self-service checkout at a 24-hour Family Mart in Shanghai.
One sentence that says how far ahead China is when it comes to rolling out new technologies.

At the checkout counter you simply hold the QR code on the app against the scanner.

Our Tips

You do not really need e-CNY right now. If you don't have any trouble with your WeChat or Alipay, there's hardly any reason to switch right now. From what we saw today it looks like China's e-CNY doesn't charge a transaction fee, so you might save a few RMB over the course of a year. If you do have issues with getting online payments set up, then the e-CNY appears to be an easier option right now.
