According to Nanfang Daily, over 120 million passengers will set off from transportation sites in Guangdong, a 6% raise year on year. In order to reduce COVID-19 infection risk, all passengers who enter the sites will be required to have temperature checked, present health codes and wear a mask.

Furthermore, all trasportation sites in Guangdong provide contactless services, including automatic ticket checkers, automatic temperature-measuring devices and more.

However, for the elderly passengers, staff services and cash payment are to be retained at different transportation sites for those in need.
