Group agencies should pay close attention to information on the level of epidemic prevention and control in tourist destinations. When the relevant department of the tourist destination government issues an early warning for tourism or lists the relevant area as a medium or high risk level of the epidemic, the tour group that has not departed must immediately cancel or change the tour itinerary; the tour group that is already in the local area must be suspended in the local area And cooperate with relevant epidemic investigation work.
