Direct flights between Kazakhstan and China will resume from July 1. However, the rules for obtaining the “blue” status required for the flight are changing. According to Chinese Embassy in Kazakhstan, now PCR test must be taken twice, within 48 and 24 hours before the departure. The test must be taken in different laboratories determined by the Embassy and the Consulate General. In addition, people will need to be tested for antigen no earlier than 12 hours before the departure. Passengers, who fail to provide these documents, will not be allowed to board. At the same time, people planning a trip to China must also isolate for 10 days before the flight.
