Health workers check people’s names on the list at the Xinfadi wholesale market in Beijing today.
But a fresh cluster linked to a wholesale food market in the capital has sparked widespread alarm and raised the spectre of a return to painful restrictions. Some local authorities said people entering from Beijing would have to quarantine, state media reported. “I went to Xinfadi market so I want to confirm that I am not infected,” a 32-year-old woman surnamed Guo told AFP as she queued in scorching heat at a stadium waiting for a virus test.Lockdowns and closures
Efforts to trace those who had visited the market have begun, with companies and neighbourhood communities messaging staff and residents across the city to ask about their recent movements. “As soon as I finish delivering the supplies to my family members, I will go upstairs to join them,” he said.Covid-19 first emerged late last year and one of the first clusters was from a market in the central city of Wuhan that sold wild animals for meat.
