Authorities in Beijing are increasing their COVID-19 preventive and screening measures, requiring all people arriving from overseas to undergo nucleic acid testing and a 14-day stay at a concentrated medical observation site starting March 25, the Beijing Daily outlet reported on Tuesday.
Previously, only four types of arrivals were subjected to the test: those with COVID-19 symptoms, those with an epidemiological history, those showing signs of infection, and those who have necessity to test.
