Starting from April 29, inbound travelers may choose to take antigen tests within 48 hours prior to boarding and do not need to have a nucleic acid test. Airlines will no longer check pre-departure testing results, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on April 25.

According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, China has refined its pre-departure testing requirements to further facilitate cross-border travel and ensure safe and orderly travel.

Since China downgraded the management of COVID-19 from Class A to Class B from January 8, quarantine requirements were removed for people entering the country. Inbound travelers were still required to present negative nucleic acid test results acquired within 48 hours before departure.

Mao said that China will continue to optimize its policies in light of the evolving epidemic situation to ensure safe, healthy, and orderly travel between China and other countries.
