China\u0027s capital Beijing is experiencing an \u0022explosive\u0022 COVID\u002D19 outbreak connected to a bar, a government spokesman said on Saturday.
The warning followed a new tightening of COVID curbs in Beijing since Thursday, with at least two districts closing some entertainment venues after a flare-up in a neighbourhood full of nightlife, shopping and embassies.
The capital had registered 46 new local cases on Saturday as of 3 p.m. , all people already in isolation or under observation, health official Liu Xiaofeng said. Beijing only relaxed curbs less than two weeks ago that had been imposed to fight a major outbreak that began in April.Article content
