China's immigration authority has facilitated prevention against the novel coronavirus at the border by sharing data with relevant departments and local governments as the country guards against imported cases of infection, an official said Monday.
Quarantine personnel at the border will receive the information shared by the National Immigration Administration about international travelers on arriving flights in advance, said Liu Haitao with the administration at a press conference.
Over 1.1 million items of information about arriving international travelers have been shared with the customs and health authorities, Liu said.
Border checks have found more than 67,000 inbound travelers with travel history in countries and regions of serious coronavirus outbreaks, according to Liu.
Liu said the administration has also helped locate the close contacts of confirmed infection cases and suspected cases among inbound travelers by sharing over 210,000 items of such information with China's joint prevention and control mechanism against the virus.
Travelers' privacy and information security has also been protected in accordance with the law during the process, Liu noted.
