Good news!

China drops Covid-test rule for incoming travelers

China will no longer require a negative Covid-19 test result for incoming travelers starting Wednesday.

This must have been one of the last remaining countries to still have a pre-arrival testing requirement. No more testing required from today.

Oh sweet. Just in time for upcoming trip - also need to inform family as they're going but separately.
They were just asking the other day about what covid tests that was needed.

Not that it makes any diff - only reqt for last few months has been a rat test which was never checked - provided you fill out the pre-arrival health declaration and showed screen shot of QR code you could waltz through.

Edit: I should have added that Health Declaration for entry and exit still reqd

Anyone here been asked or is it just a RAT test
