PCR Health Declarations Eased for People Entering China
People entering China no longer need to state their PCR test results, COVID-19 infection history or vaccination dates in health declaration in order to improve efficiency, China's General Administration of Customs said.
中国海关总署表示，为了提高效率，进入中国的人员不再需要在健康申报单上填写 PCR 检测结果、新冠病毒疾病感染史或疫苗接种日期。
The new rules are effective from August 31.
新规则自8月31日起生效。
In the updated version of the health declaration, a consent form about collecting people's throat swab samples will be added to save time in subsequent testing upon arrival, the customs said last night in a public statement.
海关昨晚在一份公开声明中表示，在健康申报的最新版本中，将加入一份关于收集人们咽喉拭子样本的同意书，以节省抵达后进行检测的时间。
It said the changes are aimed at improving efficiency, rather than relaxing pandemic prevention rules. Travelers are still required to undergo PCR tests to get green health codes to board a returning flight.
该组织表示，这些改革旨在提高效率，而不是放宽大流行病预防规则。旅行者仍然需要接受 PCR 检测，以获得绿色健康码来登上返程航班。
Customs encouraged people to fill in the health declaration form online as it was considered easier and quicker.
海关鼓励人们在网上填写健康申报表，因为这被认为更简单、更快捷。
People can declare their health condition via the WeChat mini program "海关旅客指尖服务," webpage, mobile phone app 掌上海关, or on a paper form, 24 hours prior to their entry into China.
人们可以在进入中国前24小时通过微信“海关旅客指尖服务”、网页、手机应用程序、或者纸质表格申报自己的健康状况。
Some wording will also be further clarified in the updated version of the health declaration to reduce misunderstandings.
为了减少误解，健康声明的更新版本中还将进一步澄清一些措辞。
