China International Travel Hygiene Certificate is a comprehensive certificate, which shows the test results of the holder's nucleic acid, serum IgG antibody and vaccination. There is an encrypted QR code in the health certificate for the relevant departments of various countries to verify the authenticity and read personal information. In addition to electronic display, you can also print and generate a paper version.
Do I have to have this certificate for international travel?
Encourage but not force everyone to use the International Travel Health Certificate. What kind of certificate you hold for international travel depends on the relevant requirements of the destination country for entry personnel. However, in the future, after China and other countries realize mutual recognition of the International Travel Health Certificate, if they cannot produce the certificate, they may not be able to enjoy the relevant travel convenience. See the relevant national regulations for specific requirements.
Is there a risk of privacy disclosure in the International Travel Health Certificate?
The purpose of "International Travel Health Certificate" is to establish a unified standard system for mutual recognition of health information, and to realize mutual recognition and interaction of information between countries through paper or electronic QR codes. The data interaction between countries is realized by scanning codes with the participation of passengers. The background databases of national systems are not connected, and the QR code information is encrypted. We will effectively protect citizens' personal information in accordance with the principles of strict authorization, minimum necessity, limited purpose and security.
