People in a Beijing district with some 2 million residents were ordered Sunday to undergo mass coronavirus testing following a series of infections as China tightened anti-disease controls ahead of the Winter Olympics. On Sunday, Fengtai residents lined up on snow-covered sidewalks in freezing weather for testing. “In principle, personnel in risk areas shall not leave Beijing,” Xu said. The Olympics are being held under strict controls that are meant to isolate athletes, reporters and officials from the outside world. Other outbreaks prompted the government to impose travel bans on the major cities of Xi’an and Tianjin.
