On August 24, the 241st press conference on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic was held in Beijing. Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Prevention and Control, reported at the meeting that from 0:00 to 24:00 on August 23, there were no new local confirmed cases, suspected cases or asymptomatic infections reported in Beijing.

As of 24:00 on August 23, 21 closed and controlled communities in Chaoyang, Haidian, Changping, and Fangshan districts had all been unblocked. Currently, the whole city is a low-risk area.

Pang Xinghuo said that after the outbreak of related epidemics outside Beijing, the Beijing Work Leading Group for COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control attached great importance to it and directed the control work at the frontline. With strict prevention and control policies, the group took the fastest and most effective measures to stop the spread of the disease. The epidemic has been fully controlled. However, unblocking does not mean stopping prevention. Normalizing the epidemic prevention and control work cannot be slackened at all. Citizens should continue to take measures on personal protection.
