Beijing tightens entry restrictions amid virus resurgence

People travelling to Beijing will be
subject to tighter COVID-19 control measures starting from Nov 17, the
municipal government said Saturday.

All those traveling into Beijing must provide negative results of nucleic
acid tests taken within 48 hours before arrival and a green health code.
Those from counties (cities, districts, banners) with new infections within
14 days are under tight restrictions when seeking entry into the Chinese
capital, the government announced at a press briefing.

The holding of national conferences, training, and other activities in
Beijing will be strictly controlled. Closed-loop management will be
implemented during the periods of these activities, and none of the
participants are allowed to go out.

The above measures, to come into effect from Nov 17, will be dynamically
adjusted according to changes in the epidemic situation.

The Chinese mainland Friday reported 57 new locally transmitted COVID-19
cases, the National Health Commission said in its daily report Saturday.
