Beijing Health Kit Now Shows COVID Test Results From All Over China

At a public health press conference yesterday, Beijing officials announced that the Beijing Health Kit app has now been integrated with the national COVID test record system, meaning that the app can now display test results obtained anywhere in the county.

Previously, the app could only display test results obtained in Beijing, creating an inconvenience for travelers coming or returning to the city who need to prove that they have obtained a negative test result elsewhere in the country.

However, officials warned that data updating is not instant in some areas of China, so in some cases, there may be a delay. For this reason, returnees should be sure to get tested earlier if they anticipate needing to show a test result upon return.

As for vaccines, the app currently shows only vaccine status for those vaccinated within Beijing, as the national system for vaccination records is not yet integrated. Officials say that this is next on the to-do list.
