What does double detection mean?
COVID-19 nucleic acid detection and COVID-19 serum specific IgM antibody detection.
Novel coronavirus double antibody test refers to the detection of IgM or IgG antibodies in novel coronavirus, and the detection of these specific antibodies in serum can determine whether patients have ever been infected with the virus. Nucleic acid detection has great limitations. Novel coronavirus is mainly infected with respiratory tract. At present, throat swab is widely used for nucleic acid detection in COVID-19. There are many nucleic acid tests for coagulation, and antibody tests for false negative patients can complement and verify each other with nucleic acid tests. In this way, the accuracy of diagnosis can be improved, and novel coronavirus is highly contagious. Therefore, for patients with clear epidemiological characteristics or life history in epidemic areas, it is best to carry out double antibody detection and nucleic acid detection.
165438+ 10, returning to China after the New Deal, you can change your health code within 48 hours. The proof needed is nucleic acid test (PCR pricked my nose) and serum test (Igm blood test). The report must be completed within 48 hours before departure.
: Double Yin proves that Britain still needs isolation after its return to China.
After returning to China, the hotel is now isolated 14 days. Later, according to different local policies, some places requested to continue isolation for 7 days.
Sample nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody within 48 hours before boarding the plane.
(1 Passengers going to China should take samples of nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody from the testing institution within 2 days before taking off from the UK. For example, Mr. Wang plans to fly directly to China on Friday night, and he can go to the testing agency to take samples at any time on Wednesday.
(2) The sampling of the two tests can be conducted in the same institution or in different institutions.
(3) If the sampling dates of the two tests are different, the earlier sampling date shall prevail. For example, Teacher Wang takes a nucleic acid test sample on Wednesday and an antibody test sample on Thursday, and the validity of the health code or health statement starts from Wednesday. It is suggested that passengers going to China choose a reasonable testing institution and arrange the testing time scientifically to avoid affecting their itinerary.
Reminder: These 48 hours are not absolute 48 hours, but more like days. According to the above example, the plane departing on Friday night can be sampled and tested at any time on Wednesday. In this case, I suggest you buy an afternoon or evening flight as much as possible, so that you can have more buffer time and do the test on Wednesday morning.
Do you need to go to a designated testing institution for nucleic acid testing?
The Embassy and Consulate of China in the United Kingdom will not designate the testing institutions for nucleic acids and serum IgM antibodies for the time being, but will conduct a dynamic evaluation of the testing institutions. The list of testing institutions that have been decided not to be audited will be published on the embassy website in time. As long as it is registered in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey) and is not on the non-audit list, the report issued can be used as the basis for applying for health code or health declaration. Passengers can choose according to their own situation.
Reminder: The embassy only announces testing institutions that will not be audited, and it is a dynamic evaluation. If possible, I suggest you choose a flight that can be rescheduled for free on or after February 65438. In this way, after a month's evaluation on June 5438+065438+ 10, the embassy should have updated the information of the institutions that will not be audited, reducing the uncertainty of the effectiveness of the double-negative certification.
Are there any special requirements for the test report format?
China's embassy or consulate in the UK has no special requirements on the format of the test report, but the test report must reflect the passenger's personal information (besides the name, it should also include the date of birth or passport number and the information of the testing institution (at least including the address and contact information).
Serum antibody testing NHS is only provided to NHS medical staff, as well as patients in some hospitals and elderly people in nursing homes. But most regular private clinics can do antibody testing, but you must pay attention! The antibody testing category required by the embassy must include serum IgM!
Here are also recommended several testing institutions that can do double negative certification through online sorting:
1. Super drug (UK)
/Service/Clinic-COVID-19-Antibody Testing-Service/
2. Corona Test Center (London area
/Products/COVID-19-Antibodies-Testing
3. Rennes Healthcare Company (Kent, London)

I am infected with COVID-19 virus, but I have recovered or been vaccinated. Will the antibody test fail?
As long as the nucleic acid and IgM antibody test of travelers to Britain is negative and the test time meets the requirements, the Chinese Embassy in Britain will examine and approve the health code and health declaration according to the regulations. If the IgM antibody test results of the passengers going to China are positive, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
How long can I get the health code or health declaration code approved by the embassy or consulate after uploading the test report?
China's embassy and consulate in the UK will do a good job of manpower deployment and examine and approve the applications received as soon as possible. Please be patient. Considering the concentration of direct flights in some time periods and a large number of applications, it may take a long time for individual passengers to approve their health codes. At the same time, we will also strengthen the links between Chinese and British direct airlines and handle relevant cases in a timely manner.
Can I transfer to China through a third country?
(1 If the passengers going to China depart from Britain and go to China via a third country on or before1October 6, please check the website of the Embassy of China in the transit country in advance and ask the relevant aviation authorities about the inspection and boarding requirements. The approval of the application for health code or health declaration by the Chinese Embassy in the UK does not necessarily mean that the passengers concerned can board the plane in the transit country to China.
(2) Since June 5438+065438+1October 7, 2020, China's embassy and consulate in the UK will no longer accept applications for nucleic acid coding or health declaration of passengers transiting China through third countries in principle. Therefore, passengers who plan to leave the UK for China via a third country on or after165438+107 will not be able to obtain the health code or health declaration audited by the Chinese Embassy in the UK, and may be refused boarding by airlines.
(3) Passengers going to China who have entered a third country, please carry out relevant tests according to the requirements of the local embassy and consulate of China, and apply for health codes or health declarations.

If you take your children from Edinburgh, Belfast and other places to China via London, in order to avoid being prevented from boarding at the departure point, it is recommended to consult the boarding requirements of the relevant airlines in advance.
Before going to China, I did nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody tests. Do you need quarantine after entering China?
Detection of nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody is a boarding requirement. For the quarantine policy upon arrival in China, please consult the local government of the entry city. For details, please refer to the website of the relevant local government.
165438+1After October 7th, can I board the plane through the on-site inspection report?
I can't. 1 1.7 (including, airlines are only responsible for checking health codes and health declarations at the airport.
What should I do if I can't find a testing agency?
It is understood that there are many testing institutions in Britain that can detect nucleic acids and serum IgM antibodies. If there is no testing institution in the area where the passengers going to China are located, it is recommended that you go to London or other places with testing institutions for testing in advance.
If you need to transfer and test from Edinburgh, Belfast and other places via London, it is avo.
Diplomatic, official, courtesy and C visa holders are not affected. If foreigners really need to go to China urgently, they can apply for a visa from the British Embassy (Consulate) in China. Visa issued after October 3, 2020/KLOC-0 will not be affected.
This is a temporary measure that China has to take to cope with the current epidemic. China will make timely adjustments according to the epidemic situation and issue a separate notice.
