Wuhan returnees to Beijing to undergo nucleic acid testing twice

People returning from Wuhan to Beijing are required to undergo nucleic acid testing before leaving the city in central China and after arriving at their destination, and strictly implement medical observation measures, authorities in the Chinese capital have announced.

Travel restrictions on Wuhan, which has been under lockdown since January 23 due to the coronavirus outbreak, were lifted on Wednesday.

Beijing will beef up its nucleic acid detection ability, optimize the detection process of coronavirus among returnees to the city, and increase medical personnel and equipment to ensure the safety of people.
