BEIJING (AP): Chinese authorities locked down a third neighbourhood in Beijing on Tuesday (June 16) as they rushed to prevent the spread of a new Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak that has infected more than 100 people in a country that appeared to have largely contained the virus.
The resurgence in China highlighted public health expert calls for vigilance as many nations move forward with easing virus restrictions to revive their economies.
Four cases were also reported in neighboring Hebei province, with three linked to the Beijing outbreak. Authorities locked down seven residential compounds in Beijing's Xicheng district, where the first case was confirmed on Thursday. They also barring residents of areas considered high-risk from leaving Beijing and banned taxis and car-hailing services from taking people out of the city.
The market has been closed for disinfection, as has a second market where three cases were confirmed. Residential communities around both markets have been put under lockdown, affecting 90,000 people in a city of 20 million. The women remain in isolation in Wellington, and tests were being conducted on passengers and staff on their flights, others at the Auckland hotel they initially stayed at in quarantine and a family member they met in Wellington.
