The outbreak had already forced authorities to announce a travel ban for residents of “medium or high-risk” areas of the city while requiring all other residents to take nucleic acid tests in order to leave Beijing.

Meanwhile, several provinces were quarantining travellers from Beijing, where all schools which had mostly reopened have been ordered to close again and return to online classes.

A warning from Beijing city spokesman, Xu Hejian, on Tuesday, stated:

The epidemic situation in the capital is extremely severe.

In the meantime, officials have closed 11 markets and disinfected thousands of food and beverage businesses in Beijing after the outbreak was detected.

The city has now reported 137 infections over the last six days, with six new asymptomatic cases and three suspected cases on Wednesday, according to the municipal health commission.

Authorities have so far banned group sports, ordered people to wear masks in crowded enclosed spaces and suspended inter-provincial group tours in response to the outbreak.
