A COVID-19 outbreak is rapidly spreading in Beijing, causing schools to be shut down in an entire district. Amongst the fear of a city-wide lockdown, residents rush to stock up on food and supplies, and freezers are sold out.
On April 28, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that from April 27–28, 56 new local cases were reported in Beijing, many of them are students and wedding guests.
