1. Can people from other places enter Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions?

During the 2022 Two Sessions, people from other places can enter Beijing, but counties, cities or districts where there is one local case of novel coronavirus infection will strictly restrict entry into Beijing. According to the video conference on security prevention work for the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held by the Office of the State Council's Work Safety Commission and the Ministry of Emergency Management on March 1, no regulations were made to restrict the entry of people from other areas where no epidemic has occurred into Beijing. Instead, emphasis was placed on raising political stance, making every effort to prevent and resolve major security risks, cracking down on illegal and criminal acts, and conducting comprehensive inspections in key areas. The following is an introduction to the relevant regulations for non-locals entering Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions:

1. Regulation 1 for non-local people entering Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions: People with a travel history in a county (city, district, banner) where there is one or more (including one) local novel coronavirus infection case within 14 days are strictly restricted from entering Beijing.

2. The second regulation for non-locals entering Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions: People who have traveled to or lived in the counties (cities, districts, banners) where land border ports are located within the past 14 days are not allowed to enter Beijing unless necessary.

3. The third rule for non-Beijing residents entering Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions: Except for 1 or 2 people, those entering Beijing must present a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours and a "Beijing Health Code" green code. In addition, it is also important to note that before the end of March, people entering Beijing were required to undergo a nucleic acid test within 72 hours of arriving in Beijing.

4. The fourth regulation for non-Beijing residents entering Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions: Commuters from the Beijing-surrounding areas must present a negative nucleic acid test certificate taken within 48 hours when entering or returning to Beijing for the first time. Each subsequent entry or return to Beijing will only require a negative nucleic acid test certificate taken within 14 days.

2. What are the regulations for traffic control into Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions?

At present, Beijing’s transportation department has not yet issued regulations on traffic control for the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, but based on relevant situations in previous years, traffic will be controlled when the two sessions are held in Beijing. For example, during the 2021 National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Beijing took temporary traffic management measures on some roads in a timely manner. During the meeting, temporary traffic management measures will be taken on some roads in a timely manner. The traffic management department will release road condition information in advance through the "Beijing Traffic Police" official Weibo and WeChat, traffic broadcasts, outdoor display screens, navigation software and other channels. Citizens are requested to pay attention to the real-time traffic information released by the traffic management department before traveling, and choose detour routes or avoid peak travel when appropriate.

In general, people from other places can enter Beijing during the 2022 Two Sessions, but counties or cities where there is one confirmed local case cannot enter Beijing. There will be traffic control into Beijing during the two sessions in Beijing, but it has not been announced yet.
