An entire district of the Chinese capital has gone into 'wartime emergency mode', in the words of local officials.
Chinese authorities have shut down two food markets in Beijing and banned tourism into the capital after a cluster of new cases sparked fears of a second wave.
Eleven residential communities have been closed off and three primary schools and six nurseries have also been shut down, according to Chinese media. Several supermarket chains took salmon off their shelves in the early hours of Saturday morning as it emerged coronavirus had been detected on tables used to process imported fish at Xinfadi market.
