BEIJING (China Daily): Beijing has tightened Covid-19 (coronavirus) control measures as newly confirmed cases by local transmission have been reported in the past few days in the capital.
The city reported 36 new domestically transmitted Covid-19 cases on Saturday, after six cases had been previously reported since Thursday. In total, China reported 57 new cases of the coronavirus on Sunday , the highest daily figure since April.
Professor Cheng Feng with the Research Centre for Public Health at Tsinghua University said people should keep high alert against the occurrence of sporadic cases, but there is no need to panic. Covering an area of 112 hectares, the Xinfadi market has some 1,500 management personnel and more than 4,000 tenants.
Chen Yankai, deputy head of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Market Regulation, said the city will strengthen inspection of food markets with fresh products, frozen pork, beef, mutton and poultry. Positive nucleic acid tests were reported from the external environmental specimens related to the confirmed cases. Preliminary findings suggest these cases may have been in contact with a polluted site in the market or infected people, said Pang.
Beijing on Friday suspended the class resumption plan for primary schools' lower graders scheduled for June 15.
