China, South Korea report new cases in double digits

A recent report said testing found only a few cases without a link to Beijing market and the steps taken mean the risk of spread is low

Mainland China reports 32 new coronavirus cases, 25 of them in Beijing

Authorities have restricted the movement of people in the capital and stepped up other measures to prevent the virus from spreading further

The resurgence of COVID-19 in the country’s capital over the past week has been linked to the city’s massive Xinfadi food centre

The new cases have raised fears of a second wave of infections as China had largely brought its domestic outbreak under control

After nearly two months with no new infections, Beijing now has 79 cases reported linked to a single wholesale food market

Concerns grow about a new cluster as China reports highest daily count since April

Authorities had earlier halted beef and mutton trading at the Xinfadi market, alongside closures at other wholesale markets in Beijing
