| Long queue to show the self paid PCR test result and barcode of quarantine hotel reservation before registering for free PCR test. |
 |
| Arrived at Shenzhen Bay Border by taxi on Jul 12 around 8:10 AM as the first bus is only available after 9:30 AM. I went for self paid PCR test on Jul 11 around 8:30 AM and got the notification result by Jul 12 around 6:00 AM and printed it in color. |
 |
| Arrived at the hall with free Wifi and AC but no food is allowed around 9:20 AM to wait for PCR test. Many people stayed outside the hall. There is no food stall, only drink machine. |
 |
| The device will ring when the PCR test result is ready at the booth outside the hall. It rang around 11:50 AM. |
 |
| Got green wrist band to cross the border |
as my PCR test is negative. Upon entering China border we should show the black barcode with blue color on top. Free wifi is available but I only could submit my form using my cellphone internet. I had Covid-19 history so I got yellow on top and the staff manually printed the 4 pieces QR code sticker (for the sample bottle for free PCR test, authorization form, ID and ?). After doing the PCR test, submitted the authorization form and then showed the blue barcode and ID to the immigration staff. She only asked whether I was out of the country for the last 30 days. After passing the Xray for the luggages, showing the self paid PCR test and QR code sticker to the staff, exchanged the ID with the sticker for the bus according to the district of our final destination. All staffs at China border are wearing full hazmat including the cleaning service staffs.

First supper at the hotel delivered with my ID. I decided to skip supper for the second days onwards. The reception usually sends the notification through wechat whenever the meals is ready to be picked up at the door of our room. There was several reminders through loudspeaker to return to our room on the day of our arrival. There are 2 pieces of N95 masks (to be used everytime we open the door) and termometer available in the room and a yellow garbage bin outside every room. They desinfect the hall 3 times a day and once more after the PCR test. They also collected sample from bedroom: pillow, toilet, door knob and cellphone for the PCR test on the 7th day. The hotel designated 1st and 2nd for offices, 3rd floor for staffs, 4th floor for quarantine from Hong Kong, and the rest of the building for quarantine from other countries with total more than 100 rooms.
