BEIJING - Health authorities in China's capital Beijing have removed a requirement for people to wear masks outdoors, further relaxing rules aimed at preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus after the city reported 13 consecutive days without new cases.
Some said the mask made them feel safe, while others said social pressures to wear the masks were also a factor. It's the second time Beijing's health authorities have relaxed guidelines on mask-wearing in the capital, which has largely returned to normal after two rounds of lockdowns brought it to a standstill.
China has reported no new locally transmitted cases on the mainland for five days after successfully controlling flare ups in the capital, Xinjiang and elsewhere.
