jun 13, 2020 - Beijing enacts 'war-time' restrictions
amid new outbreak
Description:
Beijing has recorded 36 new locally-transmitted coronavirus cases, amid fears of a second wave in the Chinese capital.
A number of districts in the Chinese capital have now closed schools, introduced security checkpoints, and ordered people to be tested for the virus as the city attempts to curb its spread.
Sports and entertainment venues have been closed and temperature checks have been re-introduced in supermarkets and offices.
"The containment efforts have rapidly entered into a war-time mode," a senior local government official told a press conference earlier today.
The outbreak has been linked to the city's largest wholesale market, and the general manager of the market has been dismissed along with other local officials. (BBC)
