BEIJING (Reuters): A district of Beijing was on a 'wartime' footing and the capital banned tourism on Saturday (June 13) after a cluster of Covid-19 (coronavirus) infections centred around a major wholesale market sparked fears of a new wave of Covid-19.

The virus was first reported at a seafood market in Wuhan, the capital of central China's Hubei province, in December. A city spokesman told the briefing that all six Covid-19 patients confirmed in Beijing on Friday had visited the Xinfadi market. The capital will suspend sports events and inter-provincial tourism effective immediately, he said.

As part of measures to curb the spread of the virus, Fengtai district said it had locked down 11 neighbourhoods in the vicinity of the market. Beijing authorities had earlier halted beef and mutton trading at the Xinfadi market, alongside closures at other wholesale markets around the city.
