Guide on Epidemic Prevention and Control Measures for China-bound Travelers from Tanzania


I. Pre-boarding Nucleic Acid Test

All China-bound travelers will need to take nucleic acid test for COVID-19 or use self-testing antigen kit within 48 hours before boarding, and can only travel to China when your test result is negative or after it turns from positive to negative.

ll. Health Declaration to China Customs

You are required to declare your negative test result to China Customs by filling in the Health Declaration Form on the WeChat mini-program of China Customs (scan the QR code below), or at https://htdecl.chinaport.gov.cn/htdeclweb/home/pages/index/index.html, or via the China Customs APP.

III. Airlines will no longer check the test results before boarding.

IV. Self-protection during the flight

You are suggested to wear a mask throughout the flight and take good personal protection to reduce the risk of infection

V. Inspection upon Entry

You can go through customs with your health declaration result, and China Customs may take random testing. If there are anomalies in your health declaration or you are showing symptoms such as fever, you are required to take an antigen test by China Customs. Those whose results are positive will need to self-quarantine or seek medical treatment as notified by the authority. Those whose results are negative will go through routine quarantine inspection by China Customs in accordance with the Frontier Health and Quarantine Law and other laws and regulations. If you pass the health declaration and entry inspection, no further requirements will be imposed.

VI. After-entry Epidemic Prevention and Control

After entry into China, you will have to strictly abide by the epidemic prevention and control requirements of the place where you stay.
