News from a pilot friend at China Eastern:
"Latest news, Kunming Airport has just canceled the 48h covid test requirement."

It's in Chinese, but here's the translation (courtesy of my browser)
"Kunming Airport: From now on, the negative nucleic acid test certificate, health code, and itinerary card will be cancelled, and the "arrival inspection" will be cancelled!
According to the relevant regulations of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, starting from today, Kunming Airport will cancel the inspection of negative nucleic acid certificates, health codes, and itinerary cards of inbound and outbound passengers, and inbound passengers will no longer undergo nucleic acid testing on arrival.

Reminder : Please pay close attention to the relevant epidemic prevention policies of the destination city so as not to delay your itinerary."

I'm furious!
I had a flight booked for today.

Went for covid test yesterday, but after 18 hours had no response from Yan'an hospital.

My wife and I made the trip into the city to find out what's going on.

They said they did one of the 10 swabs in 1 test and this time one of them was positive.

I've had to cancel my trip to Toronto (via Bangkok and Vancouver) and we'll be in quarantine by later today.
After more than 24 hours they still have not published the test results.

Well this is interesting:
"In recent days, many hospitals in various provincial-level regions including Anhui, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, YUNNAN and

Tianjin, have announced that their nucleic acid testing sites will no longer be open to the public in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination within the hospitals."
I wonder who it was announced to?

How do you spell chaos?

Getting a covid test at Yan'an Hospital used to be a bit confusing, even for Chinese people, because the silly machines at the hospital were not easy to navigate.

A few weeks ago we had to get another test and they had moved the testing location outside the hospital (over beside Walmart). The process involved scanning a code on the wall to pay, show your health code and have then scan it to get your info.

The entire process including time in line took little more than a minute.

I could navigate that on my own even though I can't speak a word of Chinese.

Because tests are no longer needed for bus and subway the nearest community testing site has been shut down.

Today we went again to Yan'an.

We were told an appointment is needed because they are so busy now (I saw one person get a test).

Nurse at the hospital gate directed us to a counter for appointment.

Nurse at the counter said no appointment needed.

Nurse at the testing site said appointment needed.

Back to the hospital and got directed to the inpatient Window.

Finally we had to wait for a supervisor to come and approve an appointment for me - for tomorrow (my flight is on Wednesday).

Chinese citizens can make appointment online using their Chinese id, but the system is not setup for foreign ids.

I hope nothing has changed.

I'm within the 48 hour time now, with a flight on Wednesday.
