Beijing to expand scope of nucleic acid testing, strictly check people from key epidemic areas

Beijing vowed to further improve the capability and expand the scope of nucleic acid testing, and strictly check all people who come from the key epidemic areas, local authorities said on Friday.

The authorities will strengthen the management of all home-based or centralized medical observation, adhere to the principles of early detection, early reporting, early quarantine and early medical treatment, and take effective epidemic prevention measures.

Beijing will continue its epidemic prevention and control efforts, as people are leaving Wuhan to return to Beijing, and strengthen the epidemic prevention management on people coming from abroad.
