RESIDENTS are no longer required to go through checks of negative nucleic acid test results when entering housing compounds, office buildings, restaurants, business venues and supermarkets, as well as other public areas, according to a notice released yesterday by Shenzhen’s COVID-19 prevention and control headquarters office. However, people must still scan the venue codes and present their health codes, as per the notice.

A 48-hour negative COVID test result will still be required for entry into six types of enclosed public places — internet bars, nightclubs, chess and card rooms, KTVs, and sauna and bathing places.    (Han Ximin)
