Beijing's Xinfadi wholesale market reopens after 2-month shutdown


Only the vehicles of vendors and buyers will be allowed to enter the market. Anyone coming into the market must first pass a facial recognition system, as well as temperature checks, said the deputy general manager, Gu Zhaoxue.
Private cars, tricycles and bikes will not be allowed to enter the market.
After the market suspended operations on June 13, Fengtai examined all potential risks there to ensure it could reopen safely, officials said.
New standards were put in place on disinfection, health monitoring and epidemic prevention in public bathrooms under the guidance of the district administration.
The authority also has improved the environment in nearby areas by removing buildings considered to be safety risks and optimizing traffic routes.
