All land border ports between China and Russia have closed to all travelers temporarily, according to an online statement on the website of the Chinese embassy in Russia on Wednesday.

The Embassy also reminds Chinese citizens in Russia to pay close attention to the above information, seriously abide by the Russian epidemic prevention regulations, and keep neccessary self isolation and avoid long-distance travel.
