What does the red health code mean?

According to relevant regulations, individuals who are prohibited from traveling, under centralized or home quarantine medical observation management will have their health code changed to a "red code". After completing centralized and home quarantine medical observation management, the red code will naturally turn into a green code. It should be noted that during this period, red code personnel should not walk around freely and must wear masks when going out.

Is a red code a confirmed case or a suspected case?

A red code is a suspected case that requires isolation and nucleic acid testing.

It is reported that individuals with a red code refer to those who need to undergo travel bans, centralized or home quarantine medical observation management. They are not infected, but only need to be thoroughly screened. If they test negative for nucleic acid, they will revert back to a green code.
