Small Number of Local Cases Keep Cropping Up in Beijing

Beijing continues to see a small number of locally transmitted cases of COVID-19 – an even smaller number of which are cases of community transmission. 

Yesterday, October 27, there were six new local cases, as well as three asymptomatic cases. Only two of said cases were community transmission i.e. detected outside of quarantine observation. 

Global Times reports that between October 27, 3pm-today, October 28, 3pm, Fengtai and Miyun districts have reported two cases each of community transmission. 

A Reminder for Halloween Weekend

As you know by now, anti-epidemic restrictions mean events can be cancelled at the last minute. Be sure to check in advance if you’re heading out to a Halloween party. 

Remember to get your nucleic acid test result in advance (72 hours for most places) and to scan the Beijing Health Kit upon entry to venues.
