North correspondent Huatai Insurance Agency & Consultant Service Ltd has advised of changes to the port entry requirements for vessels entering China from Zika affected countries.
Previously, vessels were required to produce a mosquito eradication certificate (MEC) prior to entry into Chinese ports. However the “Notice on Prevention and Control of the Zika Virus into China”, issued by the Chinese authorities (CIQ), has become void as of the 2 March 2017 and it is understood it will not be renewed.

寨卡病毒 – 中国不再要求灭蚊证明
据协会通代华泰保险经纪告知，船舶从寨卡病毒感染病例国家驶入我国港口的入境要求发生变化。
此前，要求船舶在驶入我国港口前，出示灭蚊证明。但截至2017年3月2日，中国当局(出入境检验检疫局)发布的《关于防控寨卡病毒病疫情传入我国的公告》已失效且该规定将不再继续执行。
