As of 29 April, those entering the country will be able to take a lateral flow test 48 hours before boarding their flight instead of a PCR test.
According to an updated travel advisory from the UK Foreign Office, travellers must declare their negative test result by filling in the Health Declaration Form via the China Customs website, or through the China Customs App or WeChat account.
Airline officials will no longer check test results, but upon arrival in China, visitors’ test results may be checked by officials at customs.
