Beijing virus situation 'extremely severe,' as 27 new COVID19 cases reported
BEIJING - Beijing's coronavirus situation is "extremely severe," a city official warned Tuesday, as 27 new infections were reported in the Chinese capital from a cluster that has sparked a huge trace-and-test program.
China had eased much of its anti-coronavirus measures in recent months as the government all but declared victory against the disease that emerged in Wuhan late last year. Officials in the city said they would test stall owners and managers at all of its food markets, restaurants and government canteens.
Retiree Wu Yaling, 57, was in a long queue of masked people waiting in the scorching heat for tests at a park opposite one city-center hospital. All indoor sports and entertainment venues in Beijing were ordered to shut on Monday, while some other cities across China warned they would quarantine arrivals from the capital.
