In response, a new rule for those entering or returning to the Chinese capital has been announced .

As of today, November 22, anyone entering or retuning to Beijing from elsewhere on the Chinese mainland must undergo three nucleic acid tests over three days following their arrival to the city.

Until your first test result has been confirmed, you should – in so far as possible – stay at home (going out to do the test being the obvious exception).

Other rules for those entering Beijing still apply, including showing a negative nucleic acid test issued within 48 hours of departure and having a normal Beijing Health Kit (北京健康宝).
