Beijing’s largest wholesale food market position was closed by the police guard and large networks closed Saturday after more than 50 Americans tested positive for coronavirus in the Chinese capital.
The outbreak, which occurs more than 50 days after the last local case in the city of another 20 million Americans, has shown how the virus can recur as restrictions ease. The city’s prompt reaction reflected China’s praise for acting temporarily to stop the spread of new times wherever they appear, a lesson learned from the fight opposed to the previous epidemic.
“The epidemic was always at its best, and suddenly there are one or two new hot spots,” said Jin Zheng, a woguy in his early twenties walking through downtown Beijing. “I’m a little scared. I hope everyone avoids going out too much and wearing protective equipment.”
Authorities locked down 11 residential communities near the Xinfadi market, about 3 kilometers (2 miles) southeast of the Temple of Heaven tourist site. Police officers could be seen maneuvering white fencing into place to seal off a road leading to a cluster of apartment buildings.
Communist Party members and volunteers were mobilized to buy food and other basic items for affected residents, according to Beijing News in a social media article. The variety of other Americans living in the 11 communities is not clear at the same time.
Looking at the market, paraarmia police in green uniburocracia installed vehicle barricades and was discovered at the entrances. Other Americans were allowed to enter after documents appeared at checkpoints. A red banner that said “We can’t let our guard down on epidemic prevention and control” hanging from a fence.
Beijing officials said 45 market position employees tested positive for coronavirus, showing no symptoms. This was also seven times more than other humans with symptoms, six of whom had visited or worked in the market position. China does not come with asymptomatic times in its official recount.
Inspectors from 1901 samples of meat, surfaces, trash cans, mangoes and other parts of the market, and 40 tested positive, authorities said.
The Beijing News, which mentions the xinfadi market position manager, said the virus appeared on a cutting board for imported salmon. This has led several major supermarket chains to remove salmon from their shelves, another newspaper, the Beijing Youth Daily, reported.
Attention addressed after reports of the first 3 times on Thursday and Friday. Two of the other inflamed Americans had gone to market position and the third was running with one of them at a nearby meat research institute, according to Chinese media.
City officials then check all market position staff for coronavirus. They also ordered food studies and environmental intellectual samples of all wholesale food market positions in the city, and food defense inspections in restaurants and supermarkets.

The National Center for the Performing Arts, which had just reopened on June 2, has closed The Paper, a Chinese media outlet.
Cao Yajiang, who works in finance, said it was difficult to avoid a momentary epidemic, but expressed confidence that the government can do so as well.
“When I first saw him, I got scared, but if I calmed down and thought about it, I don’t think it was a big deal because they would close the area,” he said. “He prefers not to be a large-scale epidemic.”
