China Lifts COVID Restrictions To International Arrivals

China will cancel nucleic acid tests for international arriv­als starting from Jan. 8, a statement on the Chinese Foreign Ministry website said on Tuesday.

Inbound travellers to China are advised to take a PCR test within 48 hours before their departure.

People with a positive test result are advised to postpone their trav­els until they test negative, it said.

There is no need for travellers to apply for a health code from Chi­nese diplomatic and consular mis­sions.

According to the statement, they will declare their health status on the customs card.

Those with an abnormal health status declaration or fever symp­toms will receive an antigen test at customs.

They will be advised to self-isolate at home until recovery or be treat­ed in hospital, depending on their health conditions, it said.
