The Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control recently released a new set of anti-pandemic guidelines, which suggest that the city's medium and high-risk areas temporarily shut down public cultural facilities and suspend cultural activities.

The latest guidelines, drafted by the city's cultural and tourism authorities, said that any venue where COVID-19 cases have been suspected or confirmed should be quarantined immediately. 

In addition to facilitating contact tracing, the public cultural facilities' management teams are also required to adequately ventilate their premises, implement emergency response plans, and strengthen the disinfection of public spaces, office areas and any equipment that's frequently handled.

Meanwhile, staff members are encouraged to receive booster shots, and people such as cold-chain employees, cooks, ticket inspectors, cleaners and security guards, are required to take nucleic acid test at least once a week.

All public cultural facilities in Beijing should enact a strict reservation system, such that they can receive visitors in staggered blocks and effectively mitigate large crowds in key areas, said the document.

Public cultural facilities in the city are also banned from receiving tourists who traveled to areas that have reported new COVID-19 cases and land border ports regions within the past two weeks.
