(2) Cancel IgM serum antibody detection. For all passengers (including those who have received the inactivated vaccine , non-inactivated vaccine, those who have not been vaccinated, those who have not been fully vaccinated, and those who have been infected), the cross-double test within 24 hours before departure will be changed to "double nucleic acid test" 48 hours before departure. "For testing, it is recommended to make an appointment for door-to-door sampling service.

(3) Cancel the requirement for lung imaging examinations for people with a history of previous infection. After 6 weeks of recovery for previously infected persons (subject to two negative nucleic acid reports and recovery reports more than 24 hours apart after the nucleic acid turns negative), relevant certification materials and a health monitoring form for the 14 days before boarding (included in the 6 weeks ), you can apply for a health code.

(4) Landing crew members who plan to take flights back to China will be subject to the same standards as ordinary personnel going to China.
