In summary, from the 14th to the 26th, 13 people were confirmed in Beijing from the 14th to the 26th. The spread of the infection was when one person who arrived in Beijing from Hong Kong and completed quarantine at a hotel near Wangjing, Chaoyang District, a residential area of ​​Korean residents, was confirmed.

Finally, on the 26th and 27th, the quarantine authorities in Chaoyang-gu went into full inspection against residents of the Wangjing area, including Korean residents. “On the 26th alone, 234,000 people were tested, and all of them were negative.” On the 26th, all five people who were confirmed confirmed were residents of Soon-i-gu and were identified as close contacts of the previous confirmed person. In addition, 92 temporary inspection stations have been installed in all 13 areas, and a full investigation of Corona 19 is being conducted on 800,000 residents. The quarantine authorities said, “Citizens who do not have the results of the diagnosis test should refrain from going out and report any abnormalities to the authorities immediately.” Correspondent from Beijing/Inhwan Jung [email protected]
