Multiple places, including Beijing and Shanghai, have started inter-regional recognition of COVID-19 test results as the Chinese central government urged regional authorities to improve test data sharing between each other to enhance the convenience of the public to travel and reduce the impact of epidemic prevention on economic development.
Shanghai added a function in its health code application that shows users' records of nucleic acid tests conducted in places across the Yangtze River Delta region, which covers East China's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, in addition to Shanghai, in the past 14 days. Similar to Shanghai, such test query service has also been rolled out in Anhui.
Beijing's health code application also added the nucleic acid test results of other provinces and cities, starting from Saturday. The changes will allow users' local health code system to show the latest test results, regardless of where the tests were conducted.
Other places, such as South China's Guangdong Province, Northeast China's Liaoning and Jilin provinces, have also established similar mechanism for COVID test results inquiry.
