2020-11-01 17:28

In order to reduce cross-border transmission of Covid-19, starting from November 5 in 2020, all Chinese and foreign passengers who are to travel from Palestine to China will be required to take nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests in each department of health and then apply for a green health code with the "HS" mark or a certified health declaration form before boarding the flight. The specific requirements are as follows:

I. Test Requirements

Passengers going to China via direct flights must take nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests within 48 hours before boarding. They must take the tests at a medical institution designated or recognized by the Chinese Embassy/ Chinese Consulate General in the boarding country and then apply at the Chinese Embassy/ Chinese Consulate General for a green health code with the "HS" mark or a certified health declaration form with certificates of negative results of both tests.

Passengers going to China via connecting flights must take both nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests in the Palestine or the boarding country within 48 hours before boarding their flight to the transit country and then take both tests again in the transit country within 48 hours before boarding the plane to China. Passengers must apply at the Chinese embassies/consulates in BOTH countries for green health codes with the “HS" mark or certified health declaration forms with certificates of negative results of both tests.

II. Chinese Passengers Applying for Green Health Code with the "HS” Mark

Chinese passengers must upload to the WeChat Health Code app photos of their negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests results, which will then be examined and verified by the Chinese embassy/consulates. Then they will get the green health code with the "HS" mark. Passengers must present the green code within its validity period to the airlines flying directly to China before boarding. Validity period of health code is calculated based on sampling date.

III. Foreign Passengers Applying for Certified Health Status Declaration Form

Foreign passengers taking flights to China are required to apply for a "Health Declare Certificate" online. Foreign passengers can log on to the website http://hrhk.cs.mfa.gov.cn/H5/ through computers or mobile phones, and fill in the information online, declare the health status, upload their negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests results certificates and other materials. After the Office of the People’s Republic of China to the State of Palestine passes the review, the "Health Declare Certificate" will be issued through this website. The "Health Declare Certificate" (electronic version) will be displayed in the form of a QR code with "HDC" logo. Upon boarding, foreign passengers must present the electronic version or the printed version for verification by the airlines company.

The validity period of Certified Health Status Declaration Form is calculated based on sampling date.

IV. Reminder:

Please read the requirements carefully and follow them accordingly. Failure to obtain the green health code with the "HS" mark or a certified health declaration form with negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests results means you do not qualify for boarding the flight to China and will have to change your itinerary.

If you must go to China via connecting flights, please check the transit country's entry regulations and its nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests requirements beforehand. Failure to enter the transit country or meet the requirements regarding the tests, the green code or certified health declaration form could result in being stranded and heightened infection risks.
