Residents in Beijing have started to stock up on COVID-19 antigen kits and medicine for fever, cold and cough, as prior restrictions on medicines purchase have been lifted. Many pharmacies and drug manufacturers have been scrambling to ramp up supply in response to surging market demand. According to the newly released measures, pharmacies in Beijing will no longer restrict citizens' online and offline purchase of over-the-counter medicine and no real name registration or follow-up visit is required for drug buyers.
