Yan Ligang, Director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that since Delta mutant has become the most prevalent strain of the epidemic at present, those who did not rule out the risk of infection 21 days before the meeting were not allowed to attend the meeting. All guests and staff outside Beijing must provide a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before entering Beijing.
