The specific method for boarding on flights and foreign passengers with a negative certificate of COVID-19 nucleic acid test is as follows:

The airline checks the green health code or health status statement before passengers board the plane. It is recommended that passengers traveling to China bring a negative nucleic acid test certificate for future reference.
2. Testing time and testing organization
The nucleic acid test should be completed within 5 days before the passenger boarding and the corresponding nucleic acid test certificate should be obtained. The embassy in Singapore does not designate a specific testing agency for the time being. Passengers can choose any hospital or clinic published on the Singapore Ministry of Health website for nucleic acid testing. Relevant Chinese authorities only accept nucleic acid test results and do not accept other SARS-CoV-2 test results such as serum antibodies. Please contact medical institutions in advance for details of test types.

After being reviewed and approved by the Chinese Embassy, the person concerned can obtain a green health code with the "HS" logo.

5. Important reminders
(1) If you are unable to complete the nucleic acid test in time and obtain a negative test certificate, and fail to hold the green health code with the "HS" mark or a valid health status statement before boarding, you will temporarily not meet the flight conditions and need to adjust the itinerary.
(2) At present, Singapore does not allow passengers to transit through Singapore to mainland China, and the airport transit area does not have the conditions for nucleic acid testing. Therefore, passengers who plan to transit to China in Singapore should pay attention to the websites of the relevant Singapore airlines, and be sure to confirm with the forward and backward carrier airlines whether the transit route is feasible before purchasing the ticket; if confirmed with the airline, be sure to depart Obtain the green health code or health status statement with the "HS" logo, and transfer flights within the validity period of the green health code or health status statement to avoid unnecessary economic loss or risk of detention.
(3) Passengers who take a flight from Singapore, transit through other countries, and whose final destination is mainland China, must also prepare a valid health code or health statement in accordance with the above requirements, otherwise it may result in failure to board the flight during transit.

If you get the test results, please take photos and upload them through the WeChat applet of the international version of the epidemic prevention health code as soon as possible. Upload the test certificate on the day of boarding or the day before, delaying your personal itinerary.
