What does double negative authentication mean? Do you still need isolation when you return home? -List of UK double negative certification bodies

At present, the epidemic situation abroad may be serious, so there is a new policy in China, that is, you need to provide double negative certificates within 48 hours when you return to China, so many small partners who come back from China may face many problems. Now let's talk about Britain.

Double detection refers to COVID-19 nucleic acid detection (coronavirus pneumonia-19 nucleic acid detection) and COVID-19 serum specific IgM antibody detection (coronavirus pneumonia-19 serological detection).

Antibody test).

Novel coronavirus double antibody test refers to the detection of IgM or IgG antibodies in novel coronavirus, and the detection of these specific antibodies in serum can determine whether patients have been infected with the virus. Nucleic acid detection has great limitations. Novel coronavirus is mainly infected with respiratory tract. At present, throat swab is generally used for nucleic acid detection in COVID-19. There are many nucleic acid tests for coagulation, and antibody tests for false negative patients can complement and verify each other with nucleic acid tests. In this way, the accuracy of diagnosis can be improved. Novel coronavirus is very contagious. Therefore, for patients with clear epidemiological characteristics or life history in epidemic areas, it is best to carry out double antibody detection and nucleic acid detection.

However, in the New Deal, 1 1 returned to China, and the health code could only be changed within 48 hours with a double negative certificate. The required certificates are nucleic acid test (PCR nose point) and serum test (Igm

Draw blood). The report must be completed within 48 hours before departure.

Do you still need isolation after returning home? Yes, after returning to China, the hotel is now isolated 14 days. Later, according to different local policies, some places required to continue isolation for 7 days.

Complete the sampling and detection of nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody within 48 hours before boarding the plane.

(1) Passengers going to China should take samples of nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody in the testing institution within 2 days before taking off from the UK. For example, Mr. Wang plans to fly directly to China on Friday night, and he can go to the testing agency to take samples at any time on Wednesday.

(two) the sampling of the two tests can be carried out in the same institution or in different institutions.

(3) If the sampling dates of the two tests are different, the earlier sampling date shall prevail. If Mr. Wang carries out nucleic acid testing and sampling on Wednesday and antibody testing and sampling on Thursday, the validity period of the health code or health statement will be counted from Wednesday. It is suggested that travelers to China reasonably choose testing institutions and scientifically arrange testing time to avoid affecting their itinerary.

Reminder: These 48 hours are not absolute 48 hours, but more like a few days. According to the above example, the departing plane on Friday night can be sampled and tested at any time on Wednesday. In this case, I suggest you buy an afternoon or evening flight as much as possible, so that you can have more buffer time and do the test on Wednesday morning.

Do you need to go to a designated testing institution for nucleic acid testing?

China's embassy and consulate in the UK will not designate testing institutions for nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody for the time being, but will conduct dynamic evaluation on the testing institutions. The list of testing institutions that have been decided not to be audited will be published on the embassy website in time. As long as it is registered in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) or the Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey) and is not included in the non-audit list, the report issued by the testing organization can be used as the basis for applying for health code or health declaration, and passengers can choose according to their own circumstances.

Reminder: The embassy only announces testing institutions that will not be audited, and it is a dynamic evaluation. It is suggested that you choose a flight that can be rescheduled for free on or after February 1 1, so that after a month's evaluation time 1 1, the embassy should have almost updated the information of institutions that will not be audited, reducing the uncertainty of the validity of the double-negative certificate.

Are there any special requirements for the format of the test report?

China's embassy and consulate in the UK has no special requirements on the format of the test report, but the test report must reflect the passenger's personal information (besides the name, it should also include the date of birth or passport number), the information of the testing institution (at least including the address, contact number and email address) and the sampling time (date

Test), report date and test results. The Embassy and Consulate of China in the UK will not approve the following situations:

(a) The content of the test report is incomplete;

(two) there is fraud;

(three) unable to contact the testing agency to verify the authenticity of the report.

And serum antibody.

Test and NHS are only available to NHS medical staff, as well as patients in some hospitals and elderly people in nursing homes. But most regular private clinics can do antibody testing, but be careful! The antibody testing category required by the embassy must include serum IgM!

Here are also several online testing institutions that can do double negative proof:

1. Super drug (UK)

/Service/Clinic-Coronavirus Pneumonia-19- Antibody Detection-Service/

2. Coronal Test Center (London area)

/product/coronavirus pneumonia-19- antibody-test

3.WrenHealthcare (Kent, London)

4.BioGrad (Manchester City, Liverpool, London, etc. )

More other institutions can use the keyword coronavirus pneumonia-19 antibody test search.

I am infected with COVID-19 virus, but I have recovered or been vaccinated. Will the antibody test fail?

As long as the passengers going to China are negative for nucleic acid and IgM antibody, and the detection time meets the requirements, the China Embassy in the UK will pass the health code and health declaration as required. If the test result of IgM antibody of passengers going to China is positive, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible.

How long can I get the health code or health declaration code approved by the embassy or consulate after uploading the test report?

China's embassy and consulate in the UK will do a good job of manpower deployment and examine and approve the applications received as soon as possible. Considering that direct flights are concentrated in some time periods and the number of applications is large, it may take a long time for individual passengers to approve their health codes. Please be patient. At the same time, we will also strengthen contact with airlines operating direct flights between China and Britain and handle related cases in a timely manner.

Can I transfer to China through a third country?

(1) If the passengers going to China leave the UK on or before1October 6 and go to China via a third country, 165438, please check the website of the Embassy of China in the transit country in advance and consult the relevant airlines about the relevant inspection and boarding requirements. The fact that China's embassy or consulate in the UK has approved the application for health code or health declaration does not mean that the passengers concerned can definitely board the plane for China in the transit country.

(2) As of June 7, 2020, China's embassy and consulate in the UK will no longer accept applications for nucleic acid coding or health declaration of passengers transiting China through a third country. Therefore, passengers who intend to leave the UK for China via a third country on or after165438+107 will not be able to obtain the health code or health declaration audited by the Chinese Embassy in the UK, and may be refused boarding by airlines.

(3) Passengers going to China who have entered a third country, please conduct relevant tests according to the requirements of Chinese embassies and consulates in the local area, and apply for health codes or health declarations.

Do children also need nucleic acid testing?

Children under 5 who fly directly from Britain to China do not need to be tested as long as their guardians meet the flight standards. Airline staff will directly release it after checking the health code or health statement of peer guardians.

If you take your children from Edinburgh, Belfast and other places to China via London, in order to avoid being blocked at the place of origin, it is recommended to consult the boarding requirements of relevant airlines in advance.

Do I need to be isolated after I have finished the nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody test before going to China?

Detection of nucleic acid and serum IgM antibody is a boarding requirement. Please consult the local government of the entry city about the quarantine policy upon arrival in China. For details, please refer to the relevant local government websites.

165438+1After October 7th, can I board the plane with the on-site inspection and test report?

I can't. From165438+107 (inclusive), airlines are only responsible for checking health codes and health statements at the airport.

What should I do if I can't find a testing agency?

It is understood that there are many testing institutions in Britain that can detect nucleic acids and serum IgM antibodies. If there is no testing institution in the area where passengers go to China, it is recommended that you go to London or other places with testing institutions for testing in advance.

If you need to check in from Edinburgh, Belfast and other places via London, it is recommended to consult the relevant airlines in advance to avoid being blocked at the origin.

Visa-related issues Due to the epidemic situation, it is now announced that people in the UK will not be allowed to enter China for work, private affairs and reunion with current valid Chinese visas and residence permits. China's embassy (consulate) in Britain will not issue health statements for the above-mentioned personnel.

Diplomatic, official, courtesy and C visa holders are not affected. Foreigners who really need to come to China urgently can apply for a visa from the British Embassy (Consulate) in China. The entry of visas issued after June 3, 2020 into China will not be affected.

This is a temporary measure that China has to take to cope with the current epidemic. China will make timely adjustments according to the epidemic situation and issue a separate notice.
