Beijing has unveiled new measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 after new local infections emerged in recent days.
 

Authorities in Beijing have urged residents not to leave the city unless necessary, and restricted those in regions with new infections from entering the Chinese capital, Xu Hejian, a spokesperson for the Beijing municipal government, told a press briefing on Monday.
 

All those traveling into Beijing should have their health codes checked at their arrival airport, railway station or bus station, and those without a green health code should be barred from boarding planes, trains and buses, Xu said.
 

Authorities have suspended trans-provincial group tours. Local parks, theaters and museums are permitted to operate at 75 percent capacity and community recreational facilities such as chess and card rooms are temporarily closed.
 

Authorities have encouraged the use of video conferences to replace in-person meetings and forums to help reduce the number of people coming into Beijing, the official said.
 

Besides, Beijing will reduce conferences and forums held in the city and all the marathons including the Beike Marathon competition which was scheduled on October 31, the Beijing Marathon Expo which was scheduled between October 29 and 30, and the Beijing Marathon Adidas Kids Run which was scheduled on October 30, will be delayed.
 

City-wide epidemiological investigation and screening, nucleic acid testing and the personnel deployment of lockdown and control forces will be further emphasized.
 

Beijing reported two locally transmitted confirmed COVID-19 cases and one asymptomatic case between 4pm Sunday and 3pm Monday, said Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of Beijing's center for disease control and prevention. A fourth individual initially tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Pang said. All four cases are in Changping District.

The asymptomatic case was a close contact of the two confirmed cases. The two confirmed cases, a couple, had traveled with another two cases reported on Sunday, according to Pang.
 

Local health authorities are conducting epidemiological investigations and lab testing, and are tracing all close contacts, Pang said.
 

北京:涉疫地区人员限制进返京,北京马拉松推后举行

北京市面临的疫情风险和防控压力持续增大,对此,北京市对首都防控措施作出调整和加强。
 

为更好地科学精准有效防控疫情,首都严格进京管理联防联控协调机制在七个方面对首都防控措施作出调整和加强。
 

一是最大限度减少出京活动。在京人员近期非必要不出京。
 

二是继续坚持涉疫地区人员限制进返京政策。有1例及以上本土新冠病毒感染者的县(市、区、旗)及14天内有该县旅居史人员严格限制进返京,就地落实防疫要求,对其“北京健康宝”不赋绿码。
 

三是所有进京人员严格查验“北京健康宝”。
 

四是加强进京旅游管理。暂停跨省旅游,在途团队加强防疫管理。继续暂停出入境旅游业务。
 

五是严格会议论坛防疫要求。北京马拉松推后举行。
 

六是从严落实公共场所防控措施。按75%限流开放公园景区、影剧院、博物馆等室内外文化娱乐场所。社区棋牌室、麻将馆等场所暂停营业。
 

七是严格落实“四方责任”。对拒不配合防疫管理,故意隐瞒旅居史、接触史、密接史的,将追究法律责任。
