Q&A|Will the health code turn red if I am not in Zhengzhou and cannot make time for the fifth round of COVID-19 testing?

From August 24 to August 25, the fifth round of city-wide COVID-19 testing was conducted in Zhengzhou. The target population is all residents in Zhengzhou, including local permanent residents, temporary residents, temporary mobile population, and foreign population. For residents who do not participate in this testing, their health codes will turn red.

Some citizens consulted the Zhengzhou Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters on how to keep the green "code".

Question 1: Will the code turn red if I am out of the city and can't make it to the fifth round of testing?

Answer from Zhengzhou Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters: This depends on the situation. If you're out of the city for business before the notice of the fifth-round testing and is not in Zhengzhou at present, and cannot come back to Zhengzhou in time, the code will not turn red. However, people in other places should do the testing in the place where you stay. If the color of the health code changes (such as yellow), the testing result can be used as the material to adjust the color later.

Question 2: What if I return to Zhengzhou from other places and miss the community testing?

Answer from Zhengzhou Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters: you can apply for the testing arranged by other surrounding communities, or choose to pay for testing at hospitals, which can effectively avoid the health code from turning red.

Question 3: I have received four rounds of testing in Zhengzhou and the results were all negative, can I not do the fifth round?

Answer from Zhengzhou Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters: No! If you do not participate in the fifth round in Zhengzhou, the health code will turn red, please follow the instruction and receive the testing in a timely manner.

Question 4: Do employees still need to take the fifth round of testing if their company has already organized the test within the period?

Answer from Zhengzhou Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters: You can consult the testing agency arranged by your company whether the results collected are entered into the fifth round of testing big data system in Zhengzhou. If they are, there is no need to take the testing in the community.

Question 5: What should I do if I am not sure what causes the health code to suddenly turn yellow or red?

Answer from Zhengzhou Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters: please report to the community at the first time with your own situation, actively cooperate according to the epidemic prevention policy of your community, and submit materials in time for relevant procedures. If it is determined that there is no risk, the community can assist in applying for adjustment of the health code to green.
