Zhuo Li, vice-director of emergency response with the Ministry of Transport, said at a news conference on Wednesday that the Spring Festival holiday will lead to a surge in trips. "We estimate that during the 40-day travel rush — from Jan 17 to Feb 25 — trips will outnumber 2021, when 870 million trips were made, and may even be higher than in 2020, when 1.48 billion trips were made." "We will ask vehicle operators to check travelers' health codes," Zhuo said, adding that the ministry will "strengthen efforts to crack down on illegal behavior on transportation and prevent travelers from being stranded due to inclement weather."

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism will continue to order the suspension of group tours to destinations with areas listed as having a medium or high risk of infection over the holidays.

The Ministry of Education said on Tuesday it will make the utmost efforts to ensure college graduates find fuller and higher-quality employment amid a record number of students graduating from university next year. China is expected to have 10.76 million new college graduates next year, up by 1.67 million from this year, with the total number of graduates and the growth volume both setting records, said Wang Hui, director of the ministry's department of college student affairs. The country's economy is resilient and the economic fundamentals remain strong in the long term, which has laid a solid foundation for ensuring stable employment for college graduates, Wang said at a news conference.
