A cluster of infections fuels fears of a second wave of the pandemic, which has so far killed more than 420,000 people worldwide.

Health officials in surrounding districts have also been asking residents whether they have visited the Xinfadi market.The market was closed after someone, who had recently visited it, was reported to have been infected on Thursday.

As well as halting domestic tourism, sporting events have also been suspended in the city, while plans to reopen schools for some students have been dropped. Pang Xinghuo, an official at the Beijing Centre for Disease Control, said:"Preliminary judgement suggests these cases may have come into contact with a contaminated environment in the market, or were infected after being in contact with infected people.Sky's Asia correspondent Siobhan Robbins said:"People in the area have been told not to leave their houses.

"It is a worrying time for Beijing because it hadn't had a locally transmitted case for almost two months, so it just shows you how tricky COVID-19 is to keep under control, and Beijing isn't taking any chances. "Not only are these areas in lockdown, some schools and nurseries in the area were closed on Friday, several other markets have been shut as well.
