HKG and China requirements question
I have a bit of a confusing situation with Covid requirements - traveling later this month to China, but flying SFO-HKG, spending the night there and next day HKG to Wuhan. I can get a PCR test in Chicago, where I originate, that would meet Chinese entry requirements, but not in the 48 hours required for a direct flight from the US. As the China embassy information reads, it seems I would be considered as a traveler from HKG, but one who has been overseas in the last 7 days. I don't know if I can get a test in HKG in time to receive the result and make my flight to Wuhan.
Does anyone know if I'm reading the situation correctly, and in addition, does anyone know if I can get tested at the HKG airport for mainland China entry requirements?
Thanks and hopefully the above makes sense.

Yes, you have testing centers in HKG airport. You can find details on their website and you can even book a slot if you wish
