So how do you get those required Covid tests if you can't leave your room during the +7 period?

This pattern actually makes it easier to predict suspensions :-)

Once your flight has 5+ cases, pax booked on the same flight two weeks later should be worried.

Having difficulties finding a +7 hotel in Shanghai after my current 14-day isolated quarantine ends.

The hotels I stayed the previously have all changed policy not accepting +7 stay.

Not a surprise based upon what happened this past week where a woman in the +7 period roamed around Jing'An leading to a few positive cases. My money is on the +7 being changed to either a strict community monitoring in your own apartment or just an extra week at the quarantine hotel if you don't have a place in Shanghai.

Unfortunately it appears to be a matter of the remaining available hotels being mostly 'booked out', i.e. they limit the amount of people doing +7 quarantine at each hotel (used to be 30/hotel I think, maybe even less?).
Just checked with the hotel I stayed at back in November 2021, and they're now booked out until March. :(

Had friend call, and this hotel is okay to book RIGHT NOW (see *):
****HOTEL INFO SENT VIA PM***

NOTE *:
IIRC, your last day of quarantine is going to be EXACTLY on CNY and all hotels will be booked out!!!
Also: it's NOT the same as before; you are now required to STAY IN YOUR ROOM the whole time, but can order food from outside. NO HOTEL RESTAURANT visits are allowed, no going outside.

Hope you see this SOON, as this availability might be gone even as fast as later on today.....

They should let you go get those tests. Honestly, if they make you stay in the room the whole time, why bother switching hotels? Just stay at the quarantine hotel another week, if that allowed. I’m pretty sure this is what the policy is moving towards anyhow.

I am totally lost here by China's 14+7 policy.

1) If there is a possibility to infect others after 14 day quarantine, why allow you to move to another hotel?

Only in China you hear cases after 14, 21 or even 35 days........ Chinese officials and Chinese people want to blame someone. This is beyond absurd.

Well, I had a GREEN HEALTH code the WHOLE time, even during initial quarantine! :rolleyes:

Since Beijing (the city) already has an omicron case and tons of athletes will be flying in without quarantine it’s a matter of time until something gives.

It is quite literally the rule. Mine was even more ridiculous. I completed 14 days quarantine in Xi'an, then flew on to Shenzhen. I was on a domestic flight, no separation, bus gated to the airport and left. I was free to go in shops at the airport, before reporting to a hotel to be 'locked up' again for seven further days - after getting a taxi from Shenzhen Airport to the quarantine hotel. Entire time I had a green health code for both Xi'an and Shenzhen.

I am told that the code will remain yellow until the end of the 21 -day. Apparently they fixed the problems and now it will only turn green at the end of 21 days and only after both Covid tests (taken during the +7 days) show negative.

I will see if that is indeed the change after I clear my 14-day and 21-day.

My code was green for a few days when I arrived in China earlier last week but it turned red a couple of days ago.

Yeah, that's how I understood it also.
I had some issues in that the code I needed to travel to Beijing only turned GREEN the day after arrival in Beijing! :rolleyes:
The code I was referring to that was GREEN the whole time somehow had my old passport number connected to it. I never used that one.
