Beijing will issue a yellow alert for heavy air
pollution on the Chinese New Year's Eve, which falls on Thursday,
according to authorities in the capital city.
The early days of
the Spring Festival holiday will see widespread heavy air pollution in
the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas due to
unfavourable weather conditions, according to the China National
Environmental Monitoring Center and the city's ecological environment
and meteorological departments.
During the period, the city will
strictly implement bans on fireworks and firecrackers, suspend outdoor
construction work including painting and building demolition, and
increase cleaning operations for key road, reports Xinhua news agency.
Falling
on February 12 this year, the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New
Year, is a traditional holiday featuring family reunions that usually
sees mass migration.
However, people are advised to stay put and avoid non-essential gatherings this year over Covid-19 concerns.
