BEIJING (Bloomberg): Beijing is tightening its hard-line Covid Zero rules, mandating that kids show a negative test result to enter parks in China’s capital.

Children older than three will need to show a green health code on the system that controls people’s movements, as well as a negative Covid result no older than 72 hours, according to a statement from the Beijing Municipal Administration Center of Parks.
