At the same time, the implementation of the new coronavirus antigen detection work is promoted. For those entering (returning) Beijing, it is recommended to carry out the antigen self-test as soon as possible and complete the nucleic acid test within 72 hours according to the time limit.
This is what the reporter learned from the press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia in Beijing held on the 19th.
At the press conference, Beijing reported 3 new cases of local new coronary pneumonia virus infection, all of which were confirmed cases.
