China News Service, August 2. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Greece, Air China's Athens-Beijing flight (the first entry point is Chengdu) has resumed successfully. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the direct flight between China and Greece, Nucleic acid testing and related other requirements are reiterated as follows:
1. Please strictly abide by the requirements of "double nucleic acid test" within 48 hours before boarding.
At present, the departure time of direct flights is every Wednesday at 10:15 pm, so you should take the "double nucleic acid test" after 10:15 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the two tests should be separated by more than 24 hours.
It is recommended that everyone take nucleic acid testing as soon as possible on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday mornings.
It should be reminded that the relevant testing needs to be carried out in two different testing institutions, and two different stores of the same brand (such as Medicity, Lifecheck) are considered the same institution.
2. The nucleic acid test must be sampled by Nasopharyngeal Swab, and the detection method is Real Time PCR/RT-PCR.
The nucleic acid test report must indicate the above test methods, and at the same time indicate the name, address, contact information, doctor's signature of the test institution, and complete information such as the applicant's name, sampling time (accurate to the point), date of birth, and certificate number.
Incomplete test reports will affect the timely review and issuance of the "Health Code".
Please provide detailed instructions to the testing agency before testing.
For specific testing requirements and application procedures, please refer to the "Notice on Requirements for Health Code Applications for Persons Going to China from Greece (Updated on June 30)".
3. The embassy has previously sorted out the list of some testing institutions in Greece.
These institutions understand the embassy's requirements for nucleic acid testing, the quality of testing is high, and they can issue test reports relatively quickly.
It is recommended that you choose among them for testing (for details, please refer to the "List of Nucleic Acid Testing Institutions in Greece").
In addition to the above institutions, the nucleic acid test certificate issued by the local legal testing institution in Greece is acceptable to the embassy.
4. For those who transit through Greece, please obtain the "Health Code" reviewed and issued by the embassy and consulate in the country of origin in advance and save the screenshots.
When applying to the embassy for a "health code", please provide the "health code" issued by the embassy or consulate in the country of origin in time, otherwise it will affect your access to the embassy's "health code".
5. Once again remind you to take personal protection when you go out for nucleic acid testing.
After the test is completed, please strictly implement self-isolation or closed-loop management before boarding, do not go to public places for dinner, do not visit places where people gather, and try not to take public transportation.
When checking in at the airport, you should wear an N95 mask and maintain a safe social distance.
During the flight, try to avoid taking off the mask, reduce lateral contact, and reduce the risk of infection on the plane.
