Beijing Appears To Retract Vaccine Mandate After Pushback
Newsy
Residents pushed back after the city announced that starting next week, people had to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter some public spaces.
The Chinese capital Beijing appears to have backed off a plan to launch a vaccine mandate for entry into certain public spaces after pushback from residents.
While not explicitly saying it had dropped the plan, a city official was quoted in state media late Thursday saying that people could enter venues with a negative virus test result and a temperature check, as has been the norm. They also said vaccinations would continue on the principle of "informed, voluntary consent."
