Since the coronavirus became a pandemic, everything became much more complicated in terms of interrelationships with people and homemade protocols when it came home after, for example, going to the supermarket. Not to mention whether these are protocols for entering other countries. Not to mention whether it is about entering China, the country that was able to control COVID-19, from Spain, one of the countries most affected by the so-called “second wave” of contagions in Europe.That was the case of a Twitter user named Nyscalo, who recounted what the re-entry to Shanghai was like after s spent a few weeks in Madrid, the Spanish capital.
I live in Shanghai, China. In the country that has managed to contain the virus and where life has returned to normal. For family reasons, I’ve spent a few weeks in Madrid.
THIS IS MY RETURN TO CHINA. To hallucinate.
IN HILO. pic.twitter.com/CCgTRQb6wp — Nyscalo (@Nyscalo)

“We started in Spain where, apart from the visa in order, you also need to present a PCR with negative result done in the 72h before the flight,” Nyscalo began. “You have to send the test report to the Chinese Embassy, which will return it to you sealed via email.” When his plane landed in the Chinese city, airport staff equipped with special suits accompanied small groups of passengers to leave the plane. “The eviction can last up to two hours,” confirmed the thread’s author on Twitter.Once at the airport, Nyscalo noticed a silence that made him think the place was empty. There, they gave him a QR code and performed a second PCR test.
Then the second PCR (you sit down, they scan the QR and start the third of the flags: neither Manolete swelled them so deep) and we move on to immigration. It’s impossible to tell the cops who check your passport because they’re also astronauts. pic.twitter.com/p5yI4P5jl7 — Nyscalo (@Nyscalo)

At the end, Nyscalo searched for his suitcase and got on an internal collective with another group of people, who referred them to a hotel to carry out quarantine.” In case you are wondering: yes, the hotel is paid for by the traveler. And no, he didn’t choose it. And yes, everyone has to do guarded quarantine, both Chinese and foreign,” he confessed.” These are specially conditioned hotels where when you arrive you get a thermometer and bleach pads to dissolve in the faeces before pulling the chain. Mine was decent, but that’s all. The passable food, although throughout the days was made uphill,” he wrote and attached four photos of his various dishes.

The fourth course looks quite Western… well, because it wasn’t something they gave him at the hotel. “Okay, the last picture isn’t the hotel food, but what I prepared on the first day I got home,” he said jokingly. Segú commented, the QR code that had been given to him had to be used to send his body temperature twice a day: at 9 and 14 and, although he could eat food from outside, it could not be anything that had previously been cooked in a restaurant.
The first week she spent it at the hotel, while the second week she did so at her home in Shanghai. However, in control he remained strict: “My wife called me to tell me that they had just installed a sensor on the door and a security camera. I was beginning to feel like Al Capone.” Already at home, his partner had to go to a friend’s and he could already order food from outside, but every other day a doctor was going to take her temperature. The 12th was the last PCR and, two days later, it was already free.” Many wonder how it is possible that such a large country has been able to contain the virus. This I have just told you is done with all the people who enter China, domestic and foreign. When at the end of September I did the reverse path, all I had to do when I arrived in Barajas was fill out a form… by hand,” the user concluded.
