The Chinese Embassy in Mongolia issued an urgent reminder
On June 30, the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia issued an urgent reminder saying that the message "From July 1, 2022, all personnel from Mongolia to China will no longer be quarantined" forwarded on Facebook and other media today is false news. For details of the latest policies for going to China, please refer to the "Application Requirements for Updating the Health Code \ Health Status Statement of Personnel Going to China" on the official website of our library (June 28, 2022 edition).

In order to prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic and ensure the orderly and safe movement of people across borders, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Vietnam will adjust the time limit for nucleic acid testing of the new crown virus before the departure of people flying from Vietnam to China to 48 hours and 24 hours before boarding. All personnel traveling to China apply for a green health code from the Chinese Embassy or Consulates in Vietnam with a negative report on the basis of a negative test of "double nucleic acid". The relevant measures are arranged in accordance with the principles of scientific precision, flexibility and convenience, according to the characteristics of the epidemic situation and virus mutations, and will be dynamically adjusted according to the epidemic situation and import situation.
2. Basic materials for health code application
(1) Negative certificate of "double nucleic acid" + certificate of COVID-19 vaccination (if any);
Persons originating from Vietnam must complete two nucleic acid tests at different testing institutions in the same consular area (legal testing institutions recognized by the Ministry of Health of Viet Nam) within 48 hours before boarding, with two tests at intervals of more than 24 hours and the second sampling within 24 hours before boarding. With a negative certificate of "double nucleic acid" test, the relevant personnel applied for a health code from the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam, the Chinese Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Chinese Consulate General in Da Nang according to the consular district.
