Tianjin finished nucleic acid testing of all residents and workers in the city's medium-risk areas on Wednesday morning, with the results all negative for novel coronavirus infection.
 

The city's epidemic prevention and control headquarters said samples from more than 65,000 Hangu subdistrict residents and 370 cold-chain workers in blocks A and B of a cold-chain logistics area in the central fishing port in Binhai New Area had been tested since Monday night.
 

The areas were classified as medium-risk for COVID-19 on Tuesday after a 38-year-old man who works at a cold storage company's loading dock tested positive and became a confirmed COVID-19 patient on Sunday morning.
 

An asymptomatic COVID-19 case reported on Monday was also diagnosed as a confirmed case on Wednesday, the city's epidemic prevention and control headquarters said.

The city's disease control and prevention center immediately started epidemiological investigations after the first case was confirmed on Sunday. The results showed that the type of novel coronavirus in the two cases was very similar to the strain that spread in North America from March to June, the center said.
 

Results also showed that the first confirmed case might have been infected through contact with goods contaminated by the novel coronavirus, a local official told China Central Television on Tuesday.
 

"The (first) confirmed case hadn't been to areas with a COVID-19 out-break, nor had he been in contact with other COVID-19 patients," Liang Chunzao, deputy director of Binhai New Area, told CCTV. "And the asymptomatic case reported on Monday had no direct contact with the confirmed case. The only correlation between them is the cold storage."
