Does it take 48 hours for nucleic acid testing to fly? Do I need China Eastern Airlines to do nucleic acid testing?

Due to the epidemic, people now have a lot of travel requirements wherever they go, especially those who travel to and from the two places. In addition to bright green health codes and wearing masks, some people also require nucleic acid certificates. Therefore, if you want to travel, you'd better know the specific epidemic prevention requirements first. So, it takes 48 hours to test nucleic acid by plane, and does China Eastern Airlines need nucleic acid testing?

Do I need a nucleic acid certificate to fly in China?

Whether domestic flights need nucleic acid test certificates is generally related to local epidemic prevention policies. Different places and different epidemic prevention policies will have different requirements. But generally speaking, domestic flights, if there is no epidemic in the local area of departure, and the whole city is a low-risk area of epidemic, generally do not need nucleic acid proof when boarding in the local area, only need green health code and normal body temperature.

Upon arrival, there will be more epidemic prevention requirements when getting off the plane and entering the destination, and the requirements in different places will be very different. In some places, there is no nucleic acid requirement for people from low-risk areas, and in some places, all mainlanders, including people from low-risk areas, are required to have nucleic acid certificates, depending on local policies.

Because the epidemic situation in various places is changing at any time, the epidemic prevention policies in various places have been changing. So I suggest you start to check the epidemic prevention policies at the starting point and the end point, and then see if you want to do nucleic acid. The following are the query methods: WeChat → Discovery → applet → Search the State Council client → Click to enter the State Council client applet → Select local prevention and control policies → Select starting point and end point.

Do I need a nucleic acid certificate to go abroad by plane?

Whether to provide nucleic acid certificate by flying abroad depends on local policies, and the requirements of entry and epidemic prevention policies in different countries will be different. Foreign epidemic prevention requirements can also be inquired through the the State Council client. This small program: WeChat → applet → search the State Council client → click the word more under convenience service → click more1/service → then you can see the entry and exit information inquiry → go to the country (region) for temporary control measures inquiry → click to select a good country.

Will the electronic nucleic acid test report be recognized at the airport?

If you take a domestic flight, as long as the nucleic acid test report proves that it is within the validity period, both the electronic version and the paper version of the nucleic acid report can be used. However, if you go abroad by plane, some countries do not recognize the electronic version of the nucleic acid report, and the paper version of the nucleic acid report must also be in English or local language.

How to judge the validity period of nucleic acid detection certificate by plane

All the required nucleic acid testing certificates have a certain validity period, that is, within a certain period of time. At present, many domestic countries require that the nucleic acid test certificate be within 48 hours, while foreign countries require it to be longer, perhaps 72 hours. Whether calculated by sampling time or detection time, the explanations given by different places may be different. If there is only one time in the report, it will be based on that time. If there is both sampling time and testing time, it may be safer to take the nucleic acid preparation time as the standard, but many cities in China start from the testing time. Assuming that the travel time does not exceed 15 hours, there is generally no overtime problem in doing nucleic acid one day in advance.
