    2021-01-19  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE mainland Sunday reported 109 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, including 93 locally transmitted cases and 16 arriving from outside the mainland, the National Health Commission said yesterday.

Of the locally transmitted cases, 54 were reported in Hebei, 30 in Jilin, seven in Heilongjiang and two in Beijing, the commission said in its daily report.

Two new suspected cases arriving from outside the mainland were reported in Shanghai on Sunday, said the commission, adding that no deaths related to the disease were reported.

By the end of Sunday, the number of imported COVID-19 cases rose to 4,518 on the mainland. Among them, 4,234 had been discharged from hospitals following recovery, and 284 remained hospitalized. No deaths had been reported among the imported cases.

Beijing yesterday designated one community in the southern Daxing District as medium-risk for COVID-19, after the two new local cases were reported in the area Sunday, according to local authorities.

Two local cases were reported in the Ronghui Community of the Tiangongyuan neighborhood Sunday, said Liu Xiaofeng, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, at a press conference yesterday.

A total of 43 close contacts of the two confirmed cases have been placed under medical observation, said Liu.

Some streets and localities in Beijing’s Daxing District began mass nucleic acid testing starting yesterday morning after the capital city reported the two new local cases.

About 522,000 people in Tiangongyuan Street, where the two cases reside, and its surrounding area including the district’s new media industry base and Z-park Daxing Bio-medicine Industry Park, are expected to undergo nucleic acid tests in the following days.

Also, the city of Gongzhuling in Jilin began a citywide nucleic acid testing yesterday, according to local authorities.

People in residential compounds and villages must undergo home quarantine, while designated staff have been assigned to help purchase basic necessities for them, according to a notice issued by the local COVID-19 prevention and control headquarters.
