Can Jiangmen Tomb-Sweeping Day sweep graves?

Tomb-Sweeping Day will be here soon. In view of the coexistence of multiple sporadic and local outbreaks in China, local cases have appeared in Zhongshan recently, and the prevention and control situation is severe and complicated. In order to avoid the imported and aggregated epidemic caused by centralized sweeping activities during the Qingming period, and effectively protect people's health and life safety, with the consent of the COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, the sweeping activities during the Qingming period in 2022 are hereby notified as follows:

1. From now on, funeral services such as funeral parlours, cemeteries and ashes buildings (halls) in the city will suspend on-site sweeping activities and stop holding collective public sacrifices, sea burial of ashes, tree burial and other sweeping activities.

The second is to advocate citizens to remember at home, actively persuade relatives and friends outside the city to postpone their return to their hometowns to pay homage, and to mourn and remember their ancestors by writing messages, offering flowers, Guangdong province affairs or entrusting funeral services to pay homage to their ancestors. Party member cadres should play a leading role, practice changing customs, and carry forward the new fashion of sacrifice and sweeping away.

The draft pointed out that funeral service institutions such as funeral parlours, cemeteries and ashes buildings (halls) in the city suspended on-site sweeping activities and fully implemented closed management; Suspension of collective public sacrifice, sea burial of ashes, tree burial of ashes and other crowd gathering activities; Suspension of clan and assembly activities.

Strictly control the sweeping activities outside the funeral service institutions such as cemeteries and funeral parlours, and ensure that there are no gathering sweeping and dinner activities in the jurisdiction.

At present, the domestic epidemic has not been lifted, and the foreign epidemic continues to spread. In order to weave a tight defense line of "external defense and internal defense", the city suspended Tomb-Sweeping Day's sweeping activities during the epidemic.
