Taiwan will cancel mandatory COVID-19 PCR testing for those entering the island from mainland China from February 7, the Taiwanese Central Epidemic Command Center said on Wednesday.
"On January 31, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that, effective February 7, 2023 (scheduled arrival time), the saliva-based COVID-19 PCR testing requirement at airports/ports for travelers arriving on direct flights from mainland and those arriving through the special travel arrangement for Kinmen and Matsu residents will be lifted," a statement read.
The epidemic command center added that travelers arriving from mainland China in transit through Hong Kong or Macao would no longer need to undergo PCR testing within 48 hours before departure.
