BEIJING (Reuters) – The health government of China’s capital Beijing eliminated the requirement that others wear outdoor masks, more relaxing regulations to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus after the city reported thirteen consecutive days without further cases.
Despite comfort guidelines, a large proportion of other people continued to wear a mask in Beijing on Friday.
Some said the mask made them feel safe, while others said that social tension from wearing a mask was also a factor.
“I think I can take off my mask at any time, but I’ll have to see if others settle for it. Because I’m afraid other people will be afraid if they see me without a mask,” a 24-year-old Beijing woman called her. Cao told Reuters.
This is the moment when Beijing’s fitness government has at ease the rules about masking in the capital, which has largely become a general after two rounds of lockdowns arrested him.
Beijing’s municipal disease control centers, first, said citizens can do without the mask in outdoor spaces last April, regulations were temporarily reversed in June after a new outbreak at a giant wholesale market in the south of the city.
China has not reported any new cases transmitted on the continent within five days of effectively controlling outbreaks in the capital, Xinjiang and elsewhere.
Experts say the key to the country’s good luck in disease control has been the strict application of local rules, the addition of masks, mandatory quarantine in the house and massive testing.
The government reported 22 cases imported to the mainland on 20 August and closed its borders to the maximum of non-Chinese citizens. The country has reported a total of 84,917 cases since the outbreak began.
