According to media reports, Beijing's urban management law enforcement department recently found during inspections that some citizens bought food from restaurants or brought their own food, and dined in public places outside the store.
The urban management law enforcement department said that if the public finds a meal outside the hall, they can report it to the local urban management law enforcement department, and the urban management law enforcement department will investigate and deal with it according to law.
The Beijing Consumers Association emphasized that the purpose of suspending dine-in meals is to reduce the gathering of people and reduce the potential risk of rapid spread of the virus when diners eat.
If the place for gathering is moved from the hall to the outdoors, although the space is not as closed as indoors, if multiple people take off their masks and gather to eat together, there is still a risk of epidemic transmission.
Simply changing "inside the hall" to "outside the hall" and "dine-in" to "picnic" obviously increases the risk of epidemic prevention and control.
The Beijing Consumers Association said that at present, the epidemic prevention and control situation in the capital is still very severe, and the new crown virus is very likely to be spreading invisibly.
The Beijing Consumers Association reminds consumers to improve their ideological awareness, implement the "quartet responsibility" for epidemic prevention and control, consciously practice the policy of prohibiting dine-in, and resolutely resist outdoor gatherings.
If you really need to go to a catering store to pick up or buy food, you must wear a mask, keep a safe distance of more than 1 meter, and take personal protective measures.
