Do I need a nucleic acid certificate to take a domestic flight?
Whether a negative nucleic acid test certificate is required for flying in China is generally related to the requirements of local epidemic prevention policies. Different places and different epidemic prevention policies will have different requirements. But generally speaking, domestic flights, if there are no local infection cases and the whole city is a low-risk area, generally do not need nucleic acid proof when boarding in the local area, just need normal body temperature and green health code.
After arriving at the destination, there will be more requirements for epidemic prevention in the destination, and the requirements in different places will be very different. In some places, there is no nucleic acid requirement for people from low-risk areas, while in some places, all mainlanders, including people from low-risk areas, are required to have nucleic acid certificates, depending on local policies.
Because the epidemic situation in all parts of the country is changing at any time, and the epidemic prevention policies in all parts of the country are also changing, it is best for everyone to know the epidemic prevention and control policies at the starting point and destination before leaving, and then decide whether to do nucleic acid. The following are the query methods: WeChat → Discovery → applet → Search for the State Council client → applet with the name of the State Council client → Select local prevention and control policies → Choose your own starting point and destination.
Do I need a nucleic acid certificate to go abroad by plane?
Whether you need a nucleic acid certificate to fly abroad is also determined according to the local epidemic prevention and control policy, and the specific entry and epidemic prevention policy requirements of each country will be different. The specific requirements of epidemic prevention in foreign countries can also be inquired through applets, which can be found in the State Council client: WeChat → Applet → Search the State Council client → Click more under convenience service → Click more1/service → Inquire about entry and exit information → Inquire about temporary entry control measures in regions (countries) → Select countries.
Can the airport show the electronic version of the nucleic acid test report?
If you take a domestic flight, as long as the nucleic acid test report proves that it is within the validity period, both the electronic version and the paper version of the nucleic acid report are valid. However, if you go abroad, some countries are not allowed to use the electronic version of the nucleic acid report, and the paper version of the nucleic acid test report should also be in English or local language.
How to treat the validity period of aircraft nucleic acid detection certificate
The proof of nucleic acid test report required by all localities must be within a certain period of validity. At present, many countries in China require the nucleic acid test report to be within 48 hours, while foreign countries require it to be longer, perhaps 72 hours. Both sampling time and detection time are counted, and different places may have different explanations. If there is only one time in the report, then this time shall prevail. If there is both sampling time and detection time, it may be more secure to take sampling time as the standard. In fact, many cities in China take testing time as the standard. Assuming that the travel time is less than 15 hours, there is generally no overtime problem in preparing nucleic acid in advance.
