Eleven Beijing estates locked down due to new surge of domestic coronavirus casesEleven residential estates in south Beijing have been locked down due to a fresh cluster of coronavirus cases linked to a nearby meat market. Beijing's first COVID-19 case in two months, announced on Thursday, had visited Xinfadi meat market last week and had no recent travel history outside the city. On Friday, Beijing officials delayed the return of students to primary schools across the city, and suspended all sporting events and group dining. All but one of them are Xinfadi market workers, and the remaining case works at a farmers' market in Haidian district, northwest Beijing. The Haidian worker is a close contact of one of the confirmed cases linked to Xinfadi market.
