Extrait : As of 3 pm on June 12, 43 close contacts had been found and placed in centralized quarantine. The institution they worked for and affected residential blocks are all in closed-off management.
On June 11, the capital's Xicheng district reported a new case－a 52-year-old man surnamed Tang, the city's first domestic case in 56 days. He visited a local hospital on June 10 for recurring fever and said he had not traveled outside Beijing in the past two weeks.
Xicheng district's health commission said on June 12 that it had identified 38 close contacts of the man as of 5 pm. Test results were available for 21 of them, and all had come back negative. The commission is also screening and testing classmates and teachers of the patient's child, who had already restarted classes at school, as well as residents living in the same block.
Epidemiological investigation found both Liu and Tang had been to Xinfadi, a major farm products wholesale market in Fengtai district. Tang went there on June 3 and Liu went there on June 5.
The Qingdao health commission said disease control experts in Qingdao had ruled out the possibility that Liu, who was on a business trip to Qingdao from May 29 to June 2, picked up the infection there.
The beef and lamb trading hall at the Xinfadi market was shut down as of June 12, the Beijing News reported.
Beijing's administration for market supervision said on the afternoon of June 12 that it will step up supervision over markets that mainly sell fresh produce, frozen meat and seafood, as well as warehouses, supermarkets and restaurants that use large amounts of meat or seafood.
It will also intensify oversight of catering businesses' purchases of seafood and meat to stem the use of products with unknown sources. Enhanced checks over proof of quality documents or inspection certificates will also be rolled out, officials added.
"The overall food safety situation in Beijing is good and the public does not need to worry," Chen Yankai, deputy director of the administration, said at a news conference.
