Starting from 0:00 on December 23, 2020 Pacific Time, the Chinese embassy will only accept the nucleic acid rt-PCR and IgM serum antibody test reports from the listed laboratories. Other Chinese consulates in the United States will also announce the laboratory list that they will accept.

Again, subject to multiple factors, health code may not be issued even if the report is provided from the listed laboratory. During the epidemic, we once again recommend travelers avoid all nonessential and non-urgent travels.
