Universal Beijing Resort provides nucleic acid testing service

To provide convenience for visitors, Universal Beijing Resort, located in the capital's eastern Tongzhou district, set up a nucleic acid testing spot for visitors starting Sunday afternoon.

The testing service station is located at the southern square near the subway station to the resort.

People don't need to make reservation for the testing. The charge is the same as the one set by the city government, which is from 13 yuan ($2) to 58 yuan depending on certain standards and the speed of the results.

The spot, which operates from 8 am to 9 pm, has a daily capacity of 1,500 to 2,000 people.

People who complete the tests before 10 am can get the results at around 8 pm on the same day.

As the number of confirmed cases continues to grow in China, theme parks have also tightened the epidemic control and prevention measures to avoid the spread of infections.

The Beijing government announced on Friday the Universal Studios theme park, within the resort, entered a state of emergency for epidemic control and prevention.

On Oct 24, a close contact of individuals with confirmed cases has been to the resort, according to the city authority. The contact's testing is negative.

For people's safety, the resort asked all people who have been to the area on Oct 24 to undergo testing and health monitoring. The park is still open at present.
