6. Special reminder
The above is based on the principles of scientific precision, flexibility and convenience, combined with the characteristics of the virus. Our museum will dynamically adjust the relevant measures according to the epidemic situation and so on. Please do a good job of self-health monitoring, track and understand the relevant boarding requirements of the airline, and do a good job of personal protection before boarding and traveling, so as to return home smoothly and safely.
Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Serbia
In order to reduce the risk of cross-border spread of the epidemic, from July 1, 2022, all personnel traveling to China from Cyprus are required to apply for a health code with the negative nucleic acid test report of the new crown virus nucleic acid test before the flight. The specific process is as follows:
First, the basic requirements
All personnel traveling to China from Serbia should conduct double nucleic acid testing and apply for a health code within 48 hours before boarding (referring to the departure time of the flight from Cyprus, the same below) in Cyprus and the transit country (if any) directly to China, and cooperate with the airline to check the flight within the validity period of the health code.
2. Specific measures for nucleic acid testing
Passengers are required to complete two nucleic acid tests at the official testing institution (that is, the institution with the Batut verification QR code report) within 48 hours before boarding the aircraft, and the results are negative, and the person can apply for a health code. If the test result is positive, please follow Part IV "Measures for the Treatment of Persons with a History of Previous Infection".
The first nucleic acid test should be sampled within 48 hours prior to boarding; The second sampling is taken within 24 hours of boarding. The above time is calculated according to the flight departure time, and any reported sampling time does not meet the requirements can not obtain a health code.
Nucleic acid tests should be sampled by nasopharyngeal swabs, which should show "Real Time PCR/RT-PCR" and indicate the assay variant. In principle, the two samples should be carried out in different testing institutions, using different reagents, and the interval should be greater than 24 hours.
3. Health code submission, material requirements, review time and special reminders
(1) Chinese citizens who submit it through the WeChat Mini Program "International Version of the Epidemic Prevention Health Code" may submit it on behalf of other Chinese citizens. Foreign citizens can submit applications on behalf of other foreign citizens by using a browser to access https://hrhk.cs.mfa.gov.cn/H5/, use email address to register and log in to register their accounts and log in.
The applicant should submit the application as soon as possible after obtaining two negative nucleic acid test reports, and in principle should be more than 6 hours before the flight departure time. If the application is submitted too late, the applicant shall be responsible for the failure to review it in a timely manner. Please upload all materials clearly and completely, the list is as follows:
1. Two negative nucleic acid test reports
2. Proof of Residence*
3. Complete itinerary (e.g. e-ticket)
4. Vaccination certificate (if vaccinated)
* Residence documents include Serbian passport, identity card, residence certificate, visa, etc. (any). Visa-free entry personnel can upload the Chinese exit stamp, Cypriot entry stamp page, etc. to prove that it is not just a temporary departure to Serbia.
It is recommended to carefully check the name, passport number, voyage and other information before confirming the submission, and check whether the materials are uploaded completely. If the application is returned, please modify and supplement the materials in strict accordance with the requirements to minimize the number of return resubmits and avoid unnecessary trouble for subsequent trips. Do not conceal the history of infection, illness or tamper with nucleic acid reports, etc., which will result in the inability to apply for a health code and bear the relevant legal responsibilities.
(2) Special reminders
There is a high risk of cross-infection on international travel, so please do a good job of self-isolation and health monitoring before traveling, and take personal protection on the way. It is recommended to complete the full course of vaccination against COVID-19 approved by China or the World Health Organization for use or marketing.
Chinese-funded enterprises and projects should continue to do a good job in the orderly management of the return of personnel to China, self-isolate according to the actual situation, and refer to the second part of the normal application for health codes.
If you need to communicate with our library about health code materials, etc., please send an email to the special mailbox [email protected]. If it is difficult to conduct testing on Sundays, you must submit a request for assistance to our library by email at least one day in advance (ibid., titled "Sunday Nucleic Acid Appointment Assistance"), and we will arrange it as much as possible.
IV. Measures for handling persons with a history of infection
People with a history of previous infection determine that they have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in a medical institution, or that although they have not been diagnosed, the nucleic acid test results have been positive. Persons with a history of previous infections need to confirm recovery before applying for a health code.
If you have a discharge or cure report issued by a Medical Institution in Cyprus, it can be considered a cure within 14 days, and you can refer to the second part of the normal application for a health code (the relevant report can be sent to the embassy email address in advance [email protected] or uploaded when applying for a health code).
If there is no relevant certificate, the applicant is required to send 2 negative nucleic acid test reports after the cure to our library by e-mail (sampling interval is 24 hours, and the nucleic acid report requirements are the same as the second part). After confirming the recovery time by email, the applicant is asked to self-isolate for 14 days and fill in the "Self-Health Monitoring Form". After the expiry of the quarantine period, applicants are requested to send the form to the embassy mailbox and refer to the second part of the normal application health code.
After confirming recovery, the applicant does not need to be reconfirmed without re-infection.
V. Handling methods for persons in close contact and persons with suspected symptoms
Close contacts (contact with confirmed cases, nucleic acid positive persons, or pre-departure nucleic acid test results "indeterminate", nucleic acid test CT value in the "gray area", etc.) and suspected symptoms (fever, cough, respiratory weakness, etc.) before boarding) need to be monitored for 5 days, and if the monitoring period is complete and there is no abnormality, refer to the second part of the normal application for health codes.
The above are all the requirements for the persons who take flights to China from Cyprus to apply for health codes, and the Chinese Embassy in Serbia will dynamically adjust the relevant measures according to domestic requirements and in combination with the epidemic situation. If the content previously published by the Embassy is inconsistent with this Notice, this Notice shall prevail.
