Chinese citizens have faked Covid-19 test results so they could board flights home from Russia, prompting multiple warnings from Beijing’s envoy to Moscow.
The embassy issued warnings on May 29 and again on Sunday after discovering people had forged negative results for nucleic acid tests that the Chinese government requires passengers to have taken within the five days preceding their flight from Russia to China.
It said the passengers had endangered the health of the passengers and crews of the flights, and undermined China’s domestic epidemic prevention work.
The counterfeiters were under investigation and would “bear corresponding legal responsibilities,” it said.
