25 of Beijing's new COVID-19 cases detected in quarantine

Beijing on Sunday said that 25 cases reported in the Fengtai District in the past two days had been confirmed among individuals undergoing medical observation.

Among them, 23 infections were detected at a hotel that had been repurposed as a quarantine facility. These cases were all traced back to employees working on the first floor below ground level of a building at the Xinfadi market specializing in beef and mutton trade. A total of 102 cases have been linked to that floor, accounting for 48.11 percent of all confirmed infections in the new coronavirus cluster in Fengtai, local health authorities said.

The 14-day quarantine period for personnel from that floor will be extended.
