Curbing imported cases 'top priority for COVID-19 prevention, control': Official 

Curbing the imported COVID-19 cases from overseas has been the top priority for prevention and control of the pandemic as the overseas virus situation worsens, Mi Feng, a spokesperson for the National Health Commission said at a press conference in Beijing on Monday.

On Monday's regular briefing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang told reporters that health checks and quarantine measures are being imposed equally to Chinese nationals and foreigners entering China from overseas.

Beijing, the capital of China, reported six new confirmed cases of COVID-19 from other countries as of 2:00 p.m. on Monday, the Beijing Municipal Health Commission said.

Four of the imported cases came from Spain and the other two from the United Kingdom, according to the commission.

That brings the total imported cases in the city to 37 as of 2:00 p.m. Monday. There were no new reports of indigenous COVID-19 cases in Beijing during this period.
