Risky Business: Checking the Risk Status of Your Hood

With four consecutive days of zero new cases reported and all but one high-risk area cleared, you might be wondering if you're neighborhood is considered low- or medium-risk. Although the Beijing Health Kit mini-program has a foreigner-friendly English version, the process of checking the risk status of your area is a bit more challenging for non-Chinese readers. But don't worry, we got you covered. Follow the instructions below and the mystery of the risk status of your area will soon be revealed. 

WeChat Pay > Public Services > 抗疫查询 (COVID-19 inquiry) > 疫情风险等级查询 (risk area inquiry)

When you reach the final step, your location services will automatically detect where you are and display your district name at the top of the page. Of course, you can also change your location to check the risk status of another area. A green tick indicates that you are in a low-risk area and a yellow exclamation mark indicates that you are in a medium-risk area – pretty self-explanatory.
