BEIJING, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Beijing Municipal Health Commission on Monday urged citizens to disinfect the outer packaging of goods ordered from overseas via e-commerce platforms or purchasing agents.
People are advised to promptly wash their hands after contacting the outer packaging and fresh food products ordered from overseas and not to bring such products indoors unless the outer packaging is disinfected.

The advice was given in the Beijing Municipal Health Commission's daily information update on COVID-19 for Sunday when the Chinese capital reported no new infections.
