Beijing saw a record number of coronavirus cases imported from abroad, putting pressure to screen out infected passengers and isolate suspected cases
BEIJING/SHANGHAI - New imported coronavirus infections hit a record of 21 in the Chinese capital of Beijing, data showed on Thursday, piling pressure on authorities to screen out infected passengers and isolate suspected cases.
But there were no new domestic transmissions for the first day since the virus took hold late last year in Wuhan, capital of the central province of Hubei. Since last week, the capital’s airport has set aside a special zone for international flights, with health checks required for all disembarking passengers. Non-transit travellers are sent to designated sites for a compulsory 14-day quarantine.
Some international flights to Beijing operated by Chinese carriers will be diverted to nearby cities such as Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan and Hohhot, financial news outlet Caixin said on Wednesday, citing unidentified sources.
