The number of new infections has dramatically fallen in recent weeks but Wednesday showed a slight uptick from the previous day due to the increase in imported cases. Travellers flying into Beijing Capital International Airport from high-risk countries are now handled separately from other passengers, reported state media on Tuesday. Six of the imported cases were in Beijing. Beijing had already required quarantine for people arriving from hard-hit countries including South Korea, Iran, Italy and Japan. China has now reported 79 cases imported from abroad.
