The Chinese capital has banned "uncivilised" behaviour such as not covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, the city's government said Sunday (Apr 26), in a new set of regulations to improve public hygiene amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Citizens must also "dress neatly" in public and not go shirtless – an apparent reference to the so-called "Beijing bikini" practice where men roll T-shirts up to expose their stomachs in hot weather.
Beijing already discourages a range of "uncivilised" behaviours including public spitting, littering, walking dogs unleashed, throwing things from high buildings, public defecation and smoking in places where it is prohibited.
