There are multitude of cases where it was not checked.
Do you want to be the exception?

I got one (for free) at a CVS yesterday in Allston, MA (closest location to downtown Boston with availability). Getting there and back during a storm was a significant ordeal. Furthermore, they made me wait in their parking lot because covid test patients are not permitted to enter the store.

My flight home from BKK ==> HKG ==> TPE==> SFO in May . I will transit at HKG and TPE airports ( ~ 4hrs and ~5 hrs) . I book my ticket with Unites miles .
I check online but unable to find out the requirement of Covid-19 rule for Hong Kong and Taipei .
1) Can anyone please advise , for passenger transit at HKG airport and TPe airport, does it requires PRC testing to be done before arrival and departure at these airports .
FYI the segment BBK- HKG ( flight with Thai Airways) HKG- TPE -SFO ( flight with EVA)
2) Which business lounge is best to choose at HKG airport .
Please advise and thank you.

I'm going to HKG, not TPE, so I can share what I found out yesterday about HKG Covid testing.

Just go back to yesterday's discussion if you want to read the discussion I had with some other FTers. I also included a Trip Advisor link.

Neither airport requires anything for transiting.
