Authorities in Anxin county, Xiong'an have imposed lockdown from June 27th, 2020. Earlier this month, Xinfadi, the largest market for wholesale goods in Beijing was shut down after 46 asymptomatic COVID-19 cases were found there following mass testing. A lockdown has been re-imposed on Fengtai district capital where the market is located.
The outbreak has prompted authorities to not only mandate mass testing and lockdown but also impose martial law in areas surrounding the Chinese capital. According to the country’s National Health Commission, 17 new COVID-19 cases were reported in Beijing pushing the city’s total to 311 since a new cluster was reported. New cases were reported in Tianjin and Hebei province prompting authorities to impose lockdown restrictions on Anxin county, banning people going in and out of the area.
