How long is the health code valid?
At present, the validity period of China citizens applying for health codes abroad is generally 48 hours after sampling, but it is accurate to days, not hours. Pay attention to the sampling time, not the result time (many people make mistakes.
For example, February 202 1, 1 (recheck the samples at any time, and then upload the health code. Then the validity period of this health code is from February 2 to February 3.
Take an extreme example: for example, February 1, sampling in the middle of the night, results on February 2, and then a day later on February 3, the green code was issued. However, because the validity period is calculated according to the sampling time, the validity period of the green code is still from February 2 to February 3.
Here, we suggest that you take samples as soon as possible, so that the validity period will be longer. Of course, there is no choice but to carefully check the connecting flight at the airport.
How to choose a testing organization
The testing institution is designated by the embassy or consulate, and I hereby reiterate:
Double inspection must be selected from inspection institutions recognized by the embassy. If there are multiple approved organizations, you can select one. The embassy will not recognize the test results issued by testing institutions that are not recognized by the embassy, nor will it issue health codes.
Moreover, the testing institutions recognized by the embassy will change frequently, but the safest thing is to check on the embassy website.
Can nucleic acids and serum antibodies be detected in different testing institutions?
Generally speaking, no one wants to do this to themselves. Different testing institutions may test positive after vaccination because of different testing methods.
Test report sample
I guess I got a vaccine (probably Pfizer), and then I went to a testing institution that couldn't detect a positive vaccine to test my serum.
However, the embassy or consulate requires that passengers should conduct nucleic acid PCR and serum IgM antibody testing in the same testing institution. If nucleic acid PCR and serum IgM antibody are tested in different testing institutions, the embassy should be informed in advance and the reasons should be fully explained.
In fact, IgM caused by vaccination now exceeds the standard, and some embassies and consulates have admitted it one after another. You don't have to do this to yourself.
: other issues
1. How long does it take to get the green code for uploading information?
Generally speaking, it takes half an hour to two hours to get an application for a health code. However, the time given by the embassy or consulate is 12 hour, so there should be enough margin.
I would like to remind my compatriots that before uploading the test results and various information, I must carefully check my name, gender, birthday, ID number, sampling time, test type, sampling method and other information on the test certificate before uploading. Otherwise, it must be because you filled in the wrong number, and you can't get the green code, which is equivalent to waiting for white.
2. Why is it positive in the transportation test?
Many compatriots passed the inspection in their home country, but there were problems at the border inspection. As a result, they stayed in Europe and Africa for treatment and spent a lot of time and money.
I have visited several compatriots who have had this experience. They have one thing in common: after getting the green code, they "let themselves go" and have dinner with colleagues and friends before going home. I have never seen an infection caused by insufficient protection during my trip. Therefore, it is a long way to return home, so don't let your guard down before you go home.
3. How to do cross double detection? How long will it take?
There are two kinds of cross inspection, one is domestic (including entry inspection) and the other is transit airport.
Cross-inspection in China refers to double inspection of two samples in two different designated institutions. Unless the embassy or consulate has regulations, it is recommended that you don't do it twice in the same house. For example, in Finland, our embassy has issued a notice that nucleic acid and serum samples can be tested twice in the same institution designated by the embassy, with an interval of more than 12 hours.
