1. The latest news on Beijing’s unblocking time in 2022

There is no clear time to lift the lockdown for this round of local epidemic in Beijing, but areas and communities that meet the conditions for lifting the lockdown will be lifted one after another. From early May to date, more than 15 communities in Beijing have lifted control. However, lifting the lockdown does not mean the end of the epidemic, nor does it mean that we can relax our vigilance. In order to protect the health and safety of residents, epidemic prevention measures related to these unsealed communities are still being promoted and implemented. Here is the latest news on the unblocking time in various areas of Beijing:

1.2022 Latest news on lifting of lockdown in Haidian District, Beijing:

4.2022 Latest news on the lifting of the lockdown in Fengtai District, Beijing:

The community was designated as under lockdown on April 27, when Unit 2 of Building 8 was designated as a lockdown area, and the other eight buildings and Units 1 and 3 of Building 8 were designated as control areas.

2. Has Beijing been fully unsealed in 2022?

Beijing has not yet fully lifted its lockdown. It is expected that Beijing will be fully lifted around the end of May or early June, but the details will depend on subsequent epidemic reports. Because since May, the number of newly confirmed cases of local epidemics in Beijing has been increasing every day, mainly because according to the epidemiological investigation of confirmed cases, most of them occurred in gathering places. If Beijing communities want to unseal their residents, they must complete multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing at the prescribed frequency. If all the results are negative, they can be unsealed if they meet the conditions for lifting the lockdown and control. Below is Dongguan Feng Chao's summary of the three conditions that need to be met simultaneously to lift the lockdown in Beijing:

1.2022 Beijing epidemic lifting condition one: no new cases or asymptomatic infections in the area in the past 14 days;

2.2022 Beijing epidemic lifting condition 2: The last close contact in the area has been more than 14 days since the last exposure and the nucleic acid test is negative;

3.2022 Condition three for lifting the lockdown in Beijing: All personnel in the area complete a round of nucleic acid screening 2 days before the lockdown, and all results are negative.

In general, the latest news on the time of Beijing's unblocking in 2022 has not yet been determined, but some communities have been unblocked, and a full unblocking is unlikely at present.
