If the result of the nucleic acid test is also negative, the relevant quarantined person can continue his or her compulsory quarantine in DQHs.

The above mentioned arrangements will not be applicable to persons arriving via HKIA from the Mainland or Macao who are subject to home quarantine, those who come to Hong Kong under the Return2hk Scheme or the Come2hk Scheme and are thus exempted from compulsory quarantine, and other inbound persons who are not required to undergo compulsory quarantine in DQHs. These relevant inbound persons must undergo a nucleic acid test at the TSCC at the airport. They can only proceed with their immigration procedures upon confirmation of negative nucleic acid test results.

The HKRSA Government has announced the below updated policy.

The HKRSA Government has announced the below updated policy.

The vaccination record must include the following information: vaccine administrator, recipient’s name, recipient’s date of birth, vaccination site, vaccine name, vaccination administration date, lot number, and vaccine expiration date. 
• For travelers vaccinated outside the CNMI, in addition to the CDC Vaccination Record Card, an official immunization record or an attestation statement may be required by the CHCC, Communicable Disease Investigation/Inspection team. The attestation statement confirms that the information provided in the health declaration form is true and is subject to CNMI laws that may lead to criminal fines. For individuals who were vaccinated in the CNMI, vaccination records from the CHCC will be used to verify vaccination status. 
• Unvaccinated crew/pax will not need to be tested if they are leaving with the five (5) day period.

RESTRICTIONS FOR TECHNICAL REFUELING/CREW REST

• Private aircraft need to grant permission to land for technical stop, fuel.

Unvaccinated travelers are required to get tested five (5) days after arrival at a Community-Based Testing (CBT) site.

• Any individual who tests positive for COVID-19 will be quarantined in the designated government facility for 10 days, starting after their test result date. Home isolation protocols are available if an individual can provide evidence that they can home isolate safely for 10 days, without putting others in the household at risk of infection. If it is determined that the individual cannot safely isolate at home (e.g., they live with a family member who has underlying health conditions or is immunocompromised), isolation at the designated government facility will be ordered. 
• The new COVID-19 Community Center (CCC) located at the Koblerville Youth Center is open to serve the community of Saipan seven (7) days a week including holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 
• The CCC is a hub where individuals can obtain their COVID-19 results, get confirmatory testing done (after referral from DFEMS or a private clinic), get assessed for monoclonal antibody treatment, and obtain guidance on all COVID-19 matters, including what to do if they are a close contact of a positive patient. 
• Individuals requesting test results from the community-based testing hosted at PIC may call the following numbers: (670) 785-9972, 785-9973, 785-9970, 785-9968, 785-9966. 
• Individuals identified as positive cases and seeking COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatment can be assessed at the CCC, and may either receive the treatment at the CCC or be referred to the Alternative Care Site at Kanoa Resort. 
• The CHCC and the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force highly encourage unvaccinated individuals to get vaccinated or get a booster shot against COVID-19 to help prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Data from small clinical trials show that vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 infection is waning after the primary series, but protection remains high against severe disease and hospitalization. Register for COVID-19 vaccination at www.vaccinatecnmi.com.
• “Vax verified” individuals are individuals who have uploaded onto their health declaration form proof of completing a COVID-19 vaccine series. CDC Vaccination Record Cards are not vaccination records accepted for travel into the CNMI.

Before entering the CNMI, all travelers are encouraged to fill out the mandatory health declaration form at https://governor.gov.mp/covid-19/travel for faster processing. All travelers are required to show up to their scheduled 5th-day test. Should any individual test positive during any test, they will be isolated at the government quarantine facility. Because 70% of the CNMI’s eligible population have completed their COVID-19 vaccine series, the CHCC and the task force urge residents to practice the 3 Ws (wear a mask, wash your hands, watch your distance) when interacting with individuals whose vaccine status is undetermined. 
• Travelers applying for any modified quarantine may receive an application decision after they arrive and may be required to quarantine at the designated government facility pending approval. It is recommended to apply at least 72 hours prior to arrival into the CNMI, as requests are processed in the order of receipt and validation. 
• The CNMI is reminded to watch out for misinformation and to follow updates directly from the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force and the CHCC. The spread of misinformation is just as dangerous as the virus itself. Consider registering for COVID-19 vaccinations at www.vaccinatecnmi.com, by calling the CHCC call center at 682-SHOT (7468), or registering in person at any vaccination site. Updates from the COVID-19 Task Force and the CHCC can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts @governorcnmi and @cnmichcc, as well as through CNMI media partners.
