I'm not on JF, so thought I'd post here.

Arrived ZSPD, met on plane by Customs, temperatures taken. Escorted to passport check, didn't go inside. Then upstairs into terminal for health questionnaire and were informed we'd be throat swabbed. We called DO, expressed concern and that we initially refused. They were going to figure out what to do with our scenario, and were told about new FCIF (which came out while we were in the air flying over here). Were told by DO that other crews came through and took tests. We read through FCIF and talked about scenario if false positive, felt more 'comfortable' with the plan/process and agreed to continue. EVERYONE wearing hazmat suits BTW.

So, we get escorted downstairs outside terminal to a row of large airport busses. Inside are two people (full hazmat), one sprays us down. Other is sitting behind a desk, has swabs, boxes of gloves, etc, VERY rudimentary and COMPLETELY UNSANITARY!! First guy goes. Doesn't look too bad, they very poorly spray desk where you lean over to get swabbed. Next guy goes (NO GLOVE CHANGE mind you). Swabbed, gags, coughs a few times. Swab gets done. Again, NO glove change. I ask person to change gloves, she said, "No, use one gloves three times." I said no way, made her change gloves AND spray the hell out of the desk (where I'm sure people have been coughing ALL OVER ALL DAY...as this is not aircrew only test area, but general population.) So, get swabbed no big deal, bit uncomfortable.

Retrospect, knowing what I know no, I WOULD NOT HAVE GONE through with it after seeing the COMPLETELY NON SANITARY conditions of the testing location.

Beware people, I'm not doing this again.
