Vlog| PCR CODE Instructions for Use

The city has introduced a new system for getting a nucleic acid test done in Shanghai. This replaces the covid test QR code that you previously got from the Health Cloud app.

The big improvement is this: The code is now valid for one month so you don't need to generate a new code every time you go for a test. If you recently got a new passport number, then you know how annoying it was to re-register every single time.

In theory you can get your code through 3 different apps:
    

• The Suishenban App (search for 随申办) from the Apple and Google app stores. However the registration for foreigners seems to not be working right now.
  
  

• WeChat, search for the "随申办" and then select the first MiniProgram that comes up. WeChat requires face recognition to register which only seems to work for Chinese citizens with a Chinese ID card.
  
  

• Alipay was the only option that worked for us. 

Follow the steps below.

In Alipay

1) The first step is the same as getting your health code. Click on 健康码 and click the blue confirmation button on the next screen (make sure you have 上海 Shanghai selected).

2) Now click the button with the QR code symbol that says "核酸码".

3) That's it. The code looks similar to your health code. The city suggests that you take a screenshot of it so that you can access it if their system is busy.

How to Get the Nucleic Acid Test Code for Your Kids?

You can also create a code for your kids. However, currently, the system only supports Chinese ID cards, so it won't work for expat kids. We'll update this section as soon as more information gets released.
