What are the quarantine regulations of sanitation and health for foreign cultural and educational experts?

According to the "Quarantine Law of the People's Republic of China", all people entering or leaving the country, their transportation tools, baggage, cargoes and postal parcels that could spread epidemic diseases should undergo quarantine in appointed areas. Except navigators, all other personnel should obtain permission from quarantine officers before they can disembark from their transportation, load or unload their cargo, luggage and postal parcels.

Passengers on ships and aviation transport that have to cast anchor or land in ports closed to aliens should not leave their transportation or load and unload cargo, luggage and postal parcels unless they obtain special permission from quarantine offices. Organizations and individuals who break the following regulations will be cautioned or fined:

(1) Those who evade quarantine or try to cover facts;

(2) Those who leave or board transportation, load or unload cargo, luggage and postal parcels without permission from quarantine officers.

Those who refuse to accept fines by the quarantine organizations should sue the organization or the officers at the local People's Court within six days of receiving their penalty notice. Those who fail to sue within the period and refuse to be fined will have to pay the People's Court at the request of the quarantine offices.

Those who violate rules and endanger the public by spreading epidemic diseases will be punished according to the law.
