Update: Beijing city lowers COVID-19 emergency response level

Staff workers receive temperature check as they enter Tencent Beijing headquarters at the ZPark Phase 2 in Haidian District of Beijing, capital of China, March 19, 2020. 

The Chinese capital will lower its emergency response to the novel coronavirus epidemic from the top level to the second level starting April 30, a local official announced Wednesday.

The decision was made after the city had seen no new confirmed local or imported COVID-19 cases for 13 consecutive days, said Chen Bei, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing municipal government, at a press conference.

On Jan. 24, Beijing activated the highest level of public health emergency response to contain the outbreak of the epidemic.
