Strategy for Belgium to return to Beijing in May 2021

April 29:My lover and I made an appointment one week in advance with Sun Haixia, a family doctor who speaks Chinese in Belgium, to draw blood and nasal swabs at 9 am.

April 30:I received the nucleic acid double test report from the laboratory early in the morning, uploaded the nucleic acid report, and the embassy issued a health code.

May 1:Take the HNA HU491. Airport checkin, scan the QR code at the counter according to Hainan Airlines reminders, fill in the customs code online, pay attention to the accuracy of the seat number, and avoid refilling it when entering China. Take a screenshot of the customs code on your mobile phone and use it when entering the country.

Our flight has 80 Italian transit passengers and 20 Belgian passengers. To prevent infection, Hainan Airlines put Italian passengers in the rear cabin and Belgian passengers in the front cabin. There is no one in the front and back of the Belgian passengers.

After boarding the plane, prepare a meal on the plane with various biscuits, eggs, bread, etc. There is no need to wear protective clothing, just wear masks. If there are few people around, you can eat and drink water, watch two movies or sleep, and time will pass.

May 2:The plane landed in Xi'an early morning and entered the closed management process. According to the different requirements of each staff member, fill in the form and sign, present the customs code, present the health code and nucleic acid report, collect test tubes, and perform nucleic acid testing (throat swabs and nasal swabs, no blood needs to be drawn). After entering the body temperature measurement, ask the declaration person for a declaration card, keep one for yourself, and the customs will take one for filing. After customs clearance and entry, a staff member prompted to use WeChat to buy bus tickets, and then went to the rest hall to wait for about an hour. Several buses would come to pick up all passengers on this flight. What needs to be reminded is that friends who have a lot of checked luggage should pay attention to queuing up to get on the bus after the bus arrives, because the checked luggage will be piled on the open space next to the bus. Finally, the passengers who get on the bus will have to carry the luggage into the trunk because the luggage under the bus is full. We have a lot of luggage this time, but fortunately, the staff and passengers in the car helped.

The hotel is determined after the plane takes off, and the entire flight passengers will be arranged to the same hotel. It depends on whether the environment is good or not. We stayed at Taoyuan Holiday Inn. The vehicle arrived at the quarantined hotel after 50 minutes. The staff enthusiastically helped us transport the boxes outside the door and arranged my wife and I to an adjacent room.

The hotel has a good accommodation environment, with sufficient toothpaste, toothbrush, slippers, toilet paper, kettle, tea, and small refrigerator. Hotels cannot send express delivery, but they can receive express delivery (not food). The room rate is 310 RMB, and the meal fee is 100 RMB. If you pay extra to order meals, you can have everything from cold rice noodles to abalone. There are more than 100 TV stations and good wifi signal. The air conditioning is very good, so friends who bring chocolates from Belgium in summer don't have to worry about melting the chocolate.

Staff come three times a day to deliver meals and take body temperature twice. They will not disturb them at other times.

May 3 - 11: The week before isolation is basically an adaptation stage and feels fresh. After a week, the jet lag will be used to and it will be a little boring. You can do exercise, read books, and watch TV. Time will pass quickly. A nasal swab test will be performed after one week of isolation. The food in the restaurant is very good. We don't duplicate samples every week. You can eat all kinds of Shaanxi specialties. The wifi was very good when we first checked in, but later it was slow at night. Maybe everyone was downloading it. Couples who live across the street can exchange their belongings at the door without seeing each other.

May 12: Regarding whether to return to Beijing after 14 days of isolation or continue to be in Xi'an for 7 days, here are the key points: Beijing's isolation policy in May is 14 days of centralized isolation +7 days of home or centralized isolation. Xi'an's latest isolation policy is 14 days of centralized isolation +14 days of home isolation (no centralized isolation option), and epidemic prevention measures are point-to-point docking. Because we do not have a home address in Xi'an, we cannot connect with home isolation in Xi'an. As required, we can only connect with home or centralized isolation in Beijing communities. After a round of inquiries, the hotel's special epidemic prevention team informed that they would send our information directly to Beijing at that time. After sending us off to the airport, they evacuated. Beijing would send people from the street to Beijing Airport to pick us up and take care of the follow-up. To be on the safe side, I contacted our community (hxyy Community) directly by phone and told me that I expected to arrive in Beijing on May 16. The community told me to keep the phone on and would contact us later.

Therefore, the isolation policies of each province and city are different at each time. Currently, Beijing is quarantined at home or centralized for the last 7 days, and Xi'an can only be quarantined at home for the last 14 days (no centralized isolation option). If Xi'an is adjusted to 14+7 days of health monitoring in the later period, you can find a hotel for travel in Xi'an in the next seven days (at your own expense for accommodation or reimbursement by the unit). If Xi'an is adjusted to 14+7 days of home or centralized isolation, you can be sent to Lintong Sanatorium for isolation in the next seven days. The isolation policies for destination and entry places are different, and the connection measures for isolation are also different. The isolation measures are formulated by the epidemic prevention department of each province and city, coordinated by the National Joint Prevention Office, and national measures, provincial and municipal measures and unit measures. The epidemic prevention policies at places of entry and destination are adjusted at any time based on existing cases in the area. Xi'an's isolation policy in May was stricter than Beijing's isolation policy. Here's a reference for everyone. If your place of entry is Xi'an 14+14, your destination is Beijing 14+7, and your hometown is Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Shandong 14+0, then it is the best policy to return to Beijing after 14 days of quarantine in Xi'an and 7 days of free activities in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Shandong.

May 13:The hotel's WeChat informed us that the quarantine would be lifted at 6:45 a.m. on May 16, and suggested that we book a flight three hours after the quarantine would be lifted. I called Hainan Airlines 95339 to book a flight leaving at 10:30. The weight of my luggage remained unchanged, and there was a free ticket change within 30 days. In the afternoon, the hotel's WeChat informed me that I had to arrive at the airport 2 hours earlier due to the epidemic. The flight time at 10:30 was too late, so I had to change my reservation to a flight departing at 14:30 (the hotel's notice was wrong, so everyone booked a flight 4.5 hours after the quarantine was lifted. It is advisable). In the afternoon, the community took the initiative to contact me and recorded all the information in detail, telling me that as the weekend was approaching, all information must be reported to the street before Friday for seamless connection.

May 14-15: Nucleic acid was tested in the morning, and the hotel informed us that the results would be available in the middle of the night. It also started to verify with us the departure time after the quarantine was lifted tomorrow and gave everyone an invoice for hotel accommodation.

May 16:At 6:47 in the morning, if the hotel did not call, it proved that everyone could lift the quarantine and meet with their families. We went to the airport at 10:45, got off the elevator on time, and received the quarantine release certificate, nucleic acid monitoring report and invoice. The hotel lobby is still heavily guarded, and all staff are fully vaccinated. The airport special car took us to the airport, and there was a special person who took us all the way to check in our luggage and to the boarding gate. After arriving at the boarding gate, we were no different from normal passengers, shopping, eating, boarding, getting off the plane, and picking up our luggage. When we are about to leave the t2 airport, everyone must strictly abide by the rule of centralized quarantine for seven days less than 21 days. Find several general epidemic prevention workers in the exit area of the airport to register their information, and then start waiting for community vehicles in the waiting area. Because we contacted the community in advance, the community epidemic prevention personnel and vehicles have arrived. However, because we had many boxes, the vehicles were transported twice. Fortunately, the Chaoyang Isolation Hotel is next to the hotel, and the vehicles are 20 minutes back and forth. When staying at the GreenTree Inn next to the Airport in Chaoyang District, the Express Inn is only 2-to 3-star. The conditions are indeed average, but it is free to live, and couples can also live together. Hotel staff are also subject to general epidemic prevention. Check-in successfully at 8 p.m. and began to live in isolation with my lover for the last 7 days.
