Critically Ill Chinese Patient Rushed Through Border 'Green Corridor' for Emergency Care
A critically ill Chinese citizen was rushed through a 'green corridor' at the Mishan checkpoint on March 23. The emergency measure allowed the patient to cross the border swiftly for urgent medical care. Officials verified all necessary documents directly inside the vehicle to speed up the process. The green corridor was opened at the Mishan checkpoint, located opposite the Turiy Rog crossing in Primorsky Krai. This special route is reserved for severe medical cases, including trauma victims, pregnant women, and those in critical condition.
Border officials checked the patient's and their companions' documents without requiring them to leave the car. The fast-track procedure ensured the patient reached a hospital as quickly as possible. While no specific records confirm which Russian medical facilities have historically treated seriously ill Chinese citizens from Primorsky Krai, earlier cases of Chinese nationals with COVID-19 were documented in Tyumen and Chita in late January 2020.
The activation of the green corridor allowed the patient to bypass standard border delays. This measure is part of a long-standing protocol for life-threatening emergencies. The exact destination hospital has not been publicly disclosed.
