People traveling or returning to Shanghai from other provinces will receive a pop-up notification covering their health code, if they fail to undergo a nucleic acid test within 48 hours of their arrival.
The city's health commission made the announcement on Sunday as Shanghai tries out a new way to enhance COVID-19 prevention and control amid the new round of resurgence, mainly transmitted from other provinces during the weeklong National Day holiday.
The pop-up window will prevent travelers from displaying their Suishenma health code, banning them from accessing most of Shanghai's public services, transport and places.
It will disappear after a nucleic acid test record is detected, Yu Tao, deputy director of the Shanghai Health Commission, told the city's COVID-19 press briefing on Sunday.
