China requires negative Covid-19 test for arriving passengers

The Civil Aviation Administration of China has announced that all passengers flying to China are now required to present negative Covid-19 tests results before boarding their flight.

Passengers on China-bound flights have to take a Covid-19 test within five days before boarding, and tests should be carried out in facilities designated or recognised by overseas Chinese Embassies or Consulates.

Chinese passengers are required to take photos of and upload their negative Covid-19 test results using the international version of the health QR code mini program on WeChat. Meanwhile, foreign passengers should apply to the Chinese embassy or consulate for a health declaration letter with negative Covid-19 test results.
