3 . Things change fast, and we are here to help you keep up to date with the ever-changing policies around China’s COVID-19 prevention. Here are the latest policies released on June 3 for departing to and from Hainan.
As we all know, things are always in a state of flux when it comes to these rules and regulations, so we still suggest you check with your airlines or the transport authority before departing to make sure there are no new policies.
Medium and High-Risk Areas
If you have any history of visiting a medium or high-risk area within 14 days, seven-day concentrated isolation is mandatory and you must take a COVID-19 test on the first, second, third, fifth, and seventh days.
After quarantine and a negative test result, you must observe home health monitoring for another three days. On the 10th day after your arrival in Hainan, another test will be taken using the “double testing, double sampling” method.
General Infected Areas
If you plan to enter Hainan from or have visited a general infected area within 14 days, starting from the day of departure from that area, you must provide two negative COVID-19 tests within 48 hours, and each test must be more than 24 hours apart.
Criteria for two negative COVID-19 test reports within 48 hours:
●The report must be within the 48-hour of the planned departure time.
●The time of the COVID-19 test is based on when the sample was taken. If the time cannot be determined, it will default to six hours before the time of the report.
●The second COVID-19 test must take place 24 hours after the first test. If the second test is taken between 20-24 hours from the first test, another free test will be administered at the customs gate when arriving in Hainan, and you can leave after the sample is taken.
●If the second COVID-19 test is done in less than 20 hours you will not be able to depart to Hainan. If there is no specific sampling time on the reports, but they are dated a day apart, you will need to take the free test on arrival in Hainan provided by customs.
Unable to provide two negative test results within 48 hours and not from general infected area...
If you can provide one negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours, you will be required to take a test upon arrival in Hainan. After the test, you will wait for your results in a centralized waiting area. If the results are negative, you only need to self monitor for 14 days.
If you cannot provide a COVID-19 test result within 48 hours, you will also need to take a test upon arrival and wait in a centralized waiting area for your results. If it is negative, you are free to go, but you must take another test after 24 hours. After a second negative result, you are required to self-monitor for 14 days.
Children three years old or younger will fall under their parents’ COVID-19 tests reports.
Tips
1. Apply for the Hainan health code or State Council health code at least one day before you travel. Confirm the green code, and travel according to the requirements of the destination prevention policy-if you experience health code abnormalities or fail to meet the requirements of the destination’s policies and your trip is affected, you bear the responsibility.
2. Passengers leaving Hainan with a fever and other symptoms can only travel with a fever clinic record and negative COVID-19 test results and a green Hainan Health Code or green State Council Health Code. otherwise, boarding will not be allowed.
