3. Consolidate work responsibilities and ensure that all work is in place

(1) Implement detailed prevention and control measures. All localities should implement territorial responsibility, strengthen oversight and inspections, and urge theaters and other performance venues, online service venues, and entertainment venues to strictly implement the normalization requirements for epidemic prevention and control. In addition to the specific requirements of this notice on the management of the opening of venues, other prevention and control measures are still implemented in accordance with the Notice of the Department of Market Management of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Printing and Distributing the Guidelines for Epidemic Prevention and Control Measures for the Reopening of Theaters and Other Performance Venues (Fourth Edition).
