Departing Passengers to Mainland China and Macao Are Required to Conduct Additional COVID-19 Rapid Nucleic Acid Test at HKIA Before Checking-in for Flights

From 29 March 2022, departing passengers to Mainland China and Macao via Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) are required to hold a negative result of the additional rapid nucleic acid test when they check in for the flights. The additional rapid nucleic acid test must be conducted at the designated testing venue at HKIA within eight hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the aircraft. In order to ensure sufficient time to complete the check-in and clearance procedures after obtaining a negative test result, relevant outbound travellers should allow ample time for travelling to the airport and undergo the test at least 5 to 6 hours prior to the scheduled time of departure.

Relevant passengers should reserve the testing service free-of-charge via the website of the relevant testing institution.

The result of the above special testing arrangement cannot replace the proof of negative result of any self-paid nucleic acid test as currently required by relevant authorities of Mainland China and Macao. Relevant passengers would still be subject to the quarantine and testing arrangements of their destinations, and should take note of the latest quarantine and testing requirements of relevant Mainland and Macao authorities.

For details, please visit Government's webpage https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/special-outbound-test.html and the Government's latest announcement https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202203/26/P2022032600716.htm?fontSize=1.
