Beijing mandates COVID vaccines to enter some public spaces
7/7/2022 16:51
The Chinese capital has issued a mandate requiring people to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination before they can enter some public spaces including gyms, museums and libraries, drawing concern from city residents over the sudden policy announcement and its impact on their daily lives.
According to Li Ang, a spokesperson for Beijing's municipal health commission, the health app that shows a person's latest PCR test results has been updated to make it easier to also access their vaccination status.
The list of public places requiring vaccination does not include restaurants and offices. The mandate will go into effect on Monday, with exceptions available only to those who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons.
