Restoring inter-provincial air routes under current conditions is essential for gradually recovering and developing the socio-economic conditions of localities, and bringing people's lives back to normal. However, this also carries the potential for new infections and outbreaks, further impacting the socio-economic development of localities and the health of the people.

Therefore, the requirement for all levels, sectors, and localities is to gradually restore air routes and flights, ensuring caution, safety, and strict control of the spread of the disease through passenger screening at departure/arrival airports, on the aircraft, and during travel to localities.
