    Urgent Warning for Travelers as China Implements ‘COVID-Era Measures’ Amid Chikungunya Outbreak

    An urgent warning has been issued to travelers heading to China, where authorities are implementing strict measures to contain the Chikungunya virus after more than 7,000 cases were reported.

    Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne illness, has previously been documented across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Infection occurs when a person is bitten by an infected mosquito.

    Following guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO), China is focusing on eliminating mosquito breeding grounds. Residents have been urged to remove stagnant water sources around their homes, including flowerpots, bottles, and even coffee machines.

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has now issued a level two travel warning for Guangdong Province, where the outbreak is centered in Foshan city. According to the New York Post, the situation has prompted the return of “COVID-era measures.”

    For illustrative purposes only

    A level two warning advises visitors to “practice enhanced precautions” after thousands were infected. The CDC recommends:

    “You can protect yourself by preventing mosquito bites, which includes using insect repellent; wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants; and staying in places with air conditioning or that have screens on the windows and doors.”

    Two vaccines have been approved for use in the United States, and a vaccination is recommended for travelers visiting outbreak areas. The CDC also warns against lingering near standing water, where mosquitoes thrive.

    What Are the Symptoms of Chikungunya?

    According to the CDC, most people infected with the virus develop symptoms three to seven days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

    For illustrative purposes only

    Those most at risk include newborn babies, adults over 65, and individuals with underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease.

    Common symptoms include:

    • Fever

    • Joint pain and swelling

    • Headache

    • Muscle pain

    • Rash

    The CDC is also advising pregnant women to reconsider travel to affected regions, as in rare cases the virus can be transmitted from mother to child during birth, posing a severe risk to newborns.
