为减少疫情跨境传播，自2020年11月5日起（含11月5日），从埃及出发，搭乘航班赴华的中、外籍乘客，须凭新冠病毒核酸检测阴性证明和血清特异性IgM抗体（简称血清IgM抗体）检测阴性证明（简称双阴性证明），申领带“HS”标识的绿色健康码或健康状况声明书。现就具体要求通知如下：
一、检测要求
（一）对自埃及搭乘直飞航班赴华、不经第三国中转人员，应于登机前48小时内（以采样时间为起始时间）在中国驻埃及使馆指定或认可的检测机构（名单另行公布）完成核酸和血清IgM抗体各一次采样、检测，并在获得核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测（注意务必要求检测机构安排手臂静脉抽血采样。指血采样检测结果不被认可，将影响个人行程）阴性证明后，向中国驻埃及使馆申领带“HS”标识的绿色健康码或健康状况声明书。
（二）对自埃及出发，经第三国中转乘机赴华人员，须在埃及进行第一次核酸检测和血清IgM抗体检测，在中转国（赴华直飞航班起飞国）进行第二次核酸检测和血清IgM抗体检测，并分别向驻埃及和中转国（赴华直飞航班起飞国）使领馆申领带“HS”标识的绿色健康码或健康状况声明书。
第一次检测在中国驻埃及使馆指定或认可的检测机构进行，并于登机前48小时内（以采样时间为起始时间）完成采样、检测，获得核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测（手臂静脉抽血采样）阴性证明。
第二次检测在中转国（赴华直飞航班起飞国）进行，并于中转登机前48小时内（以采样时间为起始时间）完成采样、检测，获得核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测阴性证明。
二、中国公民申领带“HS”标识的绿色健康码
中国公民在获得核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测阴性证明后，应立即通过防疫健康码国际版小程序，申报个人情况并拍照上传核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测阴性证明。经中国驻埃及使馆复核通过后，可获得带“HS”标识的绿色健康码。自埃及执飞赴华直飞航班的航空公司将凭中国驻埃及使馆核发的带“HS”标识的绿色健康码验放乘客。请在健康码有效期内乘机，并在乘机时配合航空公司查验。请在乘机时携带纸质版核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测阴性证明原件，供机场及航空公司查验。
三、外国公民办理健康状况声明书
外国公民应在获得核酸检测和血清IgM抗体检测均为阴性的证明后，将有效护照资料页、检测阴性证明和申请人已签字的健康状况声明书扫描件发送至中国驻埃及使馆指定的电子邮箱（consulate_egy@mfa.gov.cn）。中国驻埃及使馆审核通过后，以电子邮件方式将健康状况声明书扫描件发还申请人，由申请人自行打印随身携带。自埃及执飞赴华直飞航班的航空公司将凭中国驻埃及使馆核发的健康状况声明书验放乘客。请在健康状况声明书有效期内乘机，并在乘机时配合航空公司查验。请在乘机时携带纸质版核酸检测、血清IgM抗体检测阴性证明原件，供机场及航空公司查验。
四、特别提醒
（一）请拟搭乘航班赴华人员认真阅读本通知并遵照执行。如您无法按要求获得核酸检测和血清IgM抗体检测结果均为阴性的证明，乘机前未能持有带“HS”标识的绿色健康码或健康状况声明书，说明您暂不符合乘机条件，需重新合理安排或调整行程。
（二）目前,开罗机场不具备快速检测能力，建议第三国中国公民和外国公民谨慎选择经埃及转机赴华，以免因二次检测无法安排而在开罗机场乘机受阻、滞留，增加疫情感染风险。埃及当前疫情形势仍严峻复杂，其中有关国际组织和埃及专家专门强调当地轻症和无症状感染者比例很高，请第三国中国公民和外国公民慎重考虑在埃及入境并做第二次检测可能面临的疫情感染风险。从第三国始发，经埃及转机赴华的乘客，除在始发地进行第一次核酸检测和血清IgM抗体检测外，须在埃及当地进行第二次核酸检测和血清IgM抗体检测，凭登机前48小时内双阴性检测报告，向中国驻埃及使馆申办带“HS”标识的绿色健康码或健康状况声明书登机。
（三）在埃中国公民和外国公民请谨慎选择中转乘机赴华路线，避免在中转地无法入境或检测、健康码或健康状况声明书不符合要求等情况，造成在中转地乘机受阻、滞留等后果，增加疫情感染风险。如确定选择中转乘机赴华，请提前认真了解我驻中转国家使领馆实行凭新冠病毒核酸检测及血清IgM抗体检测双阴性证明规定起始时间，以及我驻中转国家使领馆指定或认可的检测机构名单，并提前认真了解拟中转国家入境规定，以及中转地涉及核酸和血清IgM抗体检测的相关要求。如中转机场不具备快速检测能力，请提前办妥赴中转国签证以便入境后做好二次检测。
（四）驻埃及使馆提醒乘客务必如实申报个人信息，提供真实、有效的核酸检测以及血清IgM抗体检测报告。如发现故意隐瞒病情、涂改伪造核酸检测报告以及血清IgM抗体检测报告情况，将依法严肃追究有关人员法律责任。
（五）请仔细阅读《中国公民新冠病毒核酸检测及血清抗体检测证明申报常见问题解答》，熟悉申报程序，掌握操作细节，避免误填误报，影响获取绿色健康码或健康状况声明书。如遇问题，请联系驻埃及使馆（电话：+202-27363556）、驻亚历山大总领馆（电话：+201-274571836）
