COVID Test in Djibouti
I travel a lot for my job, which means I have had to get a lot of covid tests. This photograph is the receipt I received from Djiboutian Airport after paying $30 for a covid screening. Even though I landed in Djibouti with a negative covid test, they still required every person to complete an antigen test as they processed customs. Every country is different and we had to remain flexible traveling during the height of the pandemic. -

Entering China from U.S.
When I arrived at Chinese Customs on April 6, I didn't expect an inspection as strict as this. We were accompanied by dozens of staff at almost every corner, all of them wearing protective suits and N95 masks. We were then being lead to do nucleic acid testing one by one. After the test, we were questioned by the staff about where we were coming from and whether we had been exposed to COVID 19 patients. The whole process lasted for about one and a half hours. Then, we were transported to the government-issued hotel for 14 days quarantine.
