Beijing reports zero virus cases for first time since new outbreak
BEIJING - Beijing on Tuesday reported zero new coronavirus cases for the first time since the emergence of a cluster in the Chinese capital in June that prompted fears of a domestic second wave.
Beijing’s health commission said on Tuesday it detected only one asymptomatic case the previous day, which China does not include in its confirmed cases counts. The Beijing government has tested more than 11 million people for COVID-19 since June 11 -- roughly half the city’s population, officials said at a press conference Monday.
Localised lockdowns across the city have been eased in recent days, with people living in areas of the city considered "low risk" now allowed to travel freely again.
