BEIJING (Reuters) - The government of Sanya city on China’s southern island province of Hainan said on Sunday that anyone arriving from overseas will be transferred to a central quarantine facility for observation from Monday.

The announcement by one of China’s most popular tourist destinations follows a similar move by the capital Beijing. In both cases, all those to be quarantined need to cover expenses themselves. [nL4N2B800G]

In the announcement on Sanya city’s official Weibo, it did not say how long the quarantine would last.
