Those who enter Beijing from other parts of China must undergo a test of nucleic acid in the 60 hours after his arrival in the city, in addition to presenting a negative test in the 54 hours prior to the trip.
This regulation will be in force from the next 22 from January to the end of March, the local press reports today.

The Pekingese authorities have not announced the detection of any other case on Sunday or this Monday.
Health experts told the newspaper Global Times1200 that it is very possible that new cases taking into account that the origin of the infection is unknown, and that if more positives are reported, the authorities will react by increasing the scope of the tests among the population, in addition to imposing restrictions on traffic and mobility in certain areas.
