Till June 22, 2020, 236 new cases were discovered in Beijing. It is also reported that all these newly cases were directly or indirectly linked to the Xinfadi Agricultural Wholesale Market located in Beijing Fengtai District (\u201cXinfadi Market\u201d). Accordingly, the area closed to Xinfadi Market is record as high-risk area.

People reside in high-risk area (currently only one area as mentioned) must be totally closed off, meaning that people must stay at home for self-observation and get nucleic acid tests.<\/p>\n
