Notice on Adjusting Requirements For China-Bound Passengers
According to the latest regulations, the Chinese embassy in South Africa has updated the Requirements on Issuing Green Health Declaration Codes (HDC) as follows:
1. Passengers shall take 1 PCR test within 48 hours before departure.
2. Transiting passengers to China shall take 1 PCR test either at the origin or transit place within 48 hours before departure. Passengers shall apply for a Health Code to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate where the PCR test is taken.
3. Passengers who have COVID-19 infection history, close contact, suspected symptoms, or presumptive positive and equivocal PCR test results, can now apply for Health Code with 1 negative PCR test result taken within 48 hours before departure.
Other requirements remain the same as the embassy’s Notice of Requirements on Testing for China-Bound Passengers, issued on 15 July 2022.
