Beijing announced more CCP virus patients over the weekend as restaurant workers became infected after exposure to a market linked to the capital’s latest outbreak.

Meanwhile, locals said they believe authorities were underreporting cases, as medical staff were dispatched from other parts of the country to help treat COVID-19 patients in Beijing and the city launched more travel restrictions.
