Meanwhile, services for international arrival at Terminal 2 at the airport have also resumed. Passengers can exit the airport as the same way as they did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the airport.

Inbound passengers were entering Beijing via Terminal 3-D at the airport since March 10, 2020, where they underwent nucleic acid test and were taken to quarantine facilities. Operations in Terminal 3-D have been temporarily suspended from Sunday.

Passengers will still need a negative nucleic acid test 48 hours before departure and have to wear protective masks onboard flights, according to the requirements from the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism.
