Forums > Travel Yunnan > Covid testing, Anyone had one done in Kunming. A friendly reminder for future reference. In the case where physical paper reports aren't necessary, nucelic acid test results usually appear just below the health code (in both English and Chinese depending on language settings) half a day after testing. Results would normally display in the afternoon if tested in the morning, and at night if tested in the afternoon. Scrolling down (located in the bottom left) may be required if test result isn't immediately shown below green bar code. Multiple test result history could also be viewed when clicked. All the info are bound to your health code identity, and synced with the central database of the NHC. True for both Alipay and WeChat hosted health codes.

To avoid confusion for others. 行程卡 is for movement tracking with up green arrow logo. I believe that app/mini program in WeChat would show * asterisk symbol for cities of medium to high risk within 14-days of visit.
You should be grateful they didn't keep you two in hotel quarantine where you'd have to dole out 300rmb/day.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Covid testing, Anyone had one done in Kunming. Labour Day travelers returning to Kunming from other Yunnan cities weren't asked to present their nucleic acid test results thus far, despite previous public notices requiring said test.
Perhaps the announcement was wielded as a discouragement stick to limit peak traveling rather than actual implementation.
From eye test, it worked.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Lao Cai/Hekou border crossing It may be worth noting the CNN correspondent Selina Wang flew in from Tokyo ten days ago.
This article was updated to report on the "grim" Shanghai surge and draconian lockdowns (from Ms. Wang's quarantine hotel w/ a nice view), not the possible rule changes for international inbound travellers to Kunming airport, granted the policies may remain unchanged.
