    After China removed its quarantine rule for inbound travelers from January 8, countries such as the United States, Japan and India said they would require coronavirus tests for people arriving from China.

    For its part, oil
    prices fell, Thursday, as the rise in Corona cases in China weakened hopes for a recovery in fuel demand for the second largest oil consumer in the world.

    The scale of the recent outbreak in China and skepticism about official data has prompted some countries to enact new travel rules on Chinese visitors, even as Beijing began to lash out at authorities there about the world's strictest lockdown and testing regime.

    Germany said the embargo had "no practical significance" given Berlin's work since spring to replace Russian oil supplies and ensure supply security.
