Starting from January 8, 2023(Beijing Time), COVID-19 will be managed as a Class B infectious disease in China, and border control measures will be adjusted accordingly. China-bound travelers are advised to read the following information on the adjustment to facilitate traveling:

Travelers are required to take nucleic acid test within 48 hours before flight departure, and can only take flight when the test result is negative. Travelers are no longer required to obtain health code from Chinese Embassy in The Gambia before departure.

Travelers need to declare the negative test result to China Customs by filling the Health Declaration Form either on Wechat mini-program of China Customs (scan the QR code below), or via the China Customs APP.

There will be no nucleic acid test when travelers enter China, and no quarantine for those whose health declaration and entry inspection produce normal results. In case of abnormality in health declaration or any symptoms such as fever detected by China Customs, travelers will take an antigen test. Those who test positive will need to self-quarantine.

The above measures will be effective for all passengers arriving in China after 12:00 am (included) on January 8, 2023.

Chinese Embassy in The Gambia reminds that travelers are advised to take primary responsibility for their health, and use precautionary measures for self-protection.
