Beijing reports no new COVID-19 cases
BEIJING -- No new locally transmitted confirmed, asymptomatic, or suspected cases of COVID-19 were reported in Beijing on Tuesday, the municipal health commission said on Aug 12.
The city also reported no new imported confirmed, asymptomatic, or suspected cases on Tuesday, according to the commission.
After a cluster of infections emerged in the Xinfadi wholesale market in June, Beijing adopted swift and targeted measures to curb the spread of the virus, reducing the number of new confirmed cases to zero within a month.
The city has not reported any locally transmitted confirmed cases since early July, except for four confirmed cases related to new infections in northeast China's Dalian City.
