In-person sports OK'd in Beijing

Starting on Tuesday, organizers can hold in-person sports events after strict evaluation of potential epidemic infection risks in Beijing, the capital's sports bureau announced on Monday.

Organizers of sports events and the institutions in charge of them should be responsible for the activities, it said.

The areas where the epidemic still exists and high-risk areas should not hold such events, it said, adding that all epidemic prevention and control measures, including body temperature measurements and health code checks should be strictly followed during the sports events.
