On December 27, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that it has adjusted visitation restrictions and strengthened COVID-19 vaccination rules for people accompanying hospitalized patients. Related details are listed below.

1. In principle, one individual is allowed for one hospitalized patient (unchanged).
2. A maximum of two individuals may be allowed if the patient is a child under the age of 12, an elderly person aged 65 or older, or a person with physical or mental disabilities or in other conditions assessed to be necessary by the healthcare facility; however, only the testing fee of one individual accompanying the patient is paid by the government.
