Shanghai entry checks call for extra time on hospital transfers

A September 15 Shanghai government notice relays police controls in force from September 14 through September 27. Eight expressways have centralized checks at entry points into Shanghai, and the Zhuqiao exit ramp on the G15 toward Ningbo is closed during the controls.

For a planned hospital visit from a neighboring province, confirm the route with the transport provider and allow a buffer before registration. These are entry checks, not a general ban on patient travel. The notice does not specify a medical-traveler exemption or a predictable delay. Confirm arrival instructions with the hospital if the transfer schedule changes; PatientChina cannot guarantee journey times.
