Forums > Living in Kunming > Many Condo complexes (小区) are giving Covid testing

I think there has been a major miscommunication somewhere. I checked with a friend who i the GM of a Crowne Plaza hotel in Chongqing.

She had a look at the official notification from the government which they received the other day.
The requirement is for 48 hours testing before interprovincial travel (by plane, train or automobile).

There was not mention of 24 hours for anything local.
Does anyone in this group have access to either Yunnan or Kunming government websites to see if there is a local policy?

This article on GICExpat dated Sept 9 indicates there is a China wide 48 hour testing requirement for subways, buses, etc.
I'm bothered by this statement "passengers must present a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before boarding planes, trains, buses or other means of transportation." which doesn't define what those other means of transportation would be.

Do I need a covid test to take a taxi?

Do I need a covid test to get in my wife's car?

Nobody in my wife's very large community group knows about these new restrictions.

It appears they only apply to expats.

Strange.
A friend phoned the subway admin office for me yesterday (9-10) and was told there was "no need" for the Covid test (yet).

She also reported that they weren't enforcing it strictly (yet).

Meanwhile, my wife's community group has not reported this either.

It sounds like communication of the rules is not consistent, even within those areas that are supposed to monitor and enforce.

If a 24 hour negative test result is required to board buses or subway, how does anyone get to the testing places?

They're not all local, we don't all drive, and we don't all use Didi.

There are just 18 confirmed cases in Kunming now yet they're getting close to locking down more than 3 million.

So if I'm reading this correctly, the entrance to VC Park next to the Korean BBQ and Metro north has strict controls, but the entrance from the subway or street level by Beijing Rd is NOT controlled?

That sounds a bit like they're trying to protect the residential units rather than the shops but it's still kinda dumb.

Just imagine, the new airport is closed because of inclement weather so some government official decides to use the old airport. Passengers don't know the change for the day and all the aircraft that need to depart are grounded at the other location so there are still no flights. It would require a double set of aircraft and a subway link between the two sites which is really not realistic.

This may be a good time for some enterprising person to be in the business of manufacturing and selling scrubbers for coal burning plants. The technology has existed for years.

Those nasty diesel trucks and buses could switch to low sulfur fuel to reduce emissions.

Unfortunately, controlling things in one area just results in these vendors moving to another unregulated location.

If the city wants to do things right then they need to do things equally across all areas.

This certainly explains why the north end of the Panlong River now has flowing water in it. Previously you could walk across the river because the water level was so low and didn't even go bank to bank.

Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.

While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.

Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.

If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
