Chinanews.com, July 20. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Argentina, recently, there have been several incidents in which Chinese citizens have been blocked due to improper ticket purchases and failure to make advance reservations for transit inspections.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by this, the embassy in Argentina reminds relevant personnel again:
1. During the epidemic, in order to avoid cross-infection of passengers, many airlines (including Lufthansa, KLM, etc.) have issued announcements that they will no longer carry passengers to China on different airlines' flights, and relevant personnel must take the same airline's flights throughout the journey Only then can go to China.
If relevant personnel really need to travel between Argentina and China, they should confirm the destination country’s entry policy in advance, understand the airline’s conditions of carriage, and be sure to purchase connecting tickets for the same airline, and do not purchase tickets for different airlines in stages.
2. According to the epidemic prevention requirements, passengers going to China must undergo nucleic acid and serum antibody tests at the departure place of the last segment of the flight.
Some airlines have set up inspection points at transit airports and all require passengers to book inspection services in advance.
In addition, the inspection service reservation policy of each transit airport is not consistent. For example, some airport inspection points are not open to passengers taking other airlines' flights, and some airport inspection points (such as Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands) require passengers to provide their origin in China. Only the health code issued by the consulate can make an appointment for transit testing services.
Relevant personnel are requested to understand the testing policy of the transit area in advance before purchasing tickets, and can check relevant information through the website of the Chinese embassy or consulate in the transit area or WeChat official account, select flights scientifically, make appointments for testing services in advance, and reserve sufficient testing time.
Currently, variants of the new coronavirus have been discovered in many places around the world, and the epidemic situation is still dangerous and complicated.
Recently, several passengers from Argentina to China have been stranded in the transit area due to infection with the new crown virus and other reasons. Individual travelers have been admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment at the transit area.
The embassy in Argentina once again strongly advises relevant personnel to "non-essential, non-emergency, and no travel", insist on fighting the epidemic on the spot, get vaccinated as soon as possible, and protect their own health and safety.
