- While scanning a Beijing Jiankangbao mini program, which went online on March 1, has been a norm for residents entering shopping malls, office buildings, and restaurants, it is the first time that the health code system, which is administrated by the local government, has been applied to ride-hailing drivers.
'Drivers who haven't received the vaccines will need to provide a 7-day valid negative nucleic acid test certificate to be able to take orders on the platforms.'
The move comes on the heels of recent reports that several of the company's drivers tested positive for the coronavirus and a subsequent fine of 1.07 million yuan (about $165,240) from the Beijing authorities was imposed for failing to adequately implement epidemic prevention and control measures.
Didi was fined for 96 safety violations. Meanwhile, its budget ride-hailing app Huaxiaozhu, or Flower Piggy, received a 340,000 yuan fine for 12 violations.
