China: You Must Have Negative COVID Test To Fly Here

Reuters reports:

Passengers of China-bound flights must provide negative COVID-19 test results before boarding, China’s aviation authority said on Tuesday, as the government looks to further reduce the risk of imported coronavirus cases amid increased international travel.

Nucleic acid tests must be completed within five days of embarkation, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said on its website. Tests should be conducted at facilities designated or recognised by Chinese embassies in host countries, it said.

In the past month, CAAC has allowed more foreign airlines to resume services in China and add flights to the country as the economy recovers.
