Beijing reported no new domestically transmitted COVID-19 cases on Wednesday for the third day in a row. The total number of cases in the city stands at 335 since a cluster outbreak was discovered at the Xinfadi market on June 11, according to the municipal health commission.

Thirty-two more patients recovered on Wednesday, marking the highest daily recoveries so far and taking the total number of recovered patients to 60, the city's health commission said.

Meanwhile, one asymptomatic case was reported on Wednesday, and 26 asymptomatic people are currently under medical observation in the Chinese capital.

Twenty-one confirmed cases were found among 52 asymptomatic people in the early stage of the Xinfadi cluster, a medical expert told media on Thursday afternoon, adding that the Beijing authority continues to monitor the 26 people who so far have shown none of the symptoms associated with the novel coronavirus. 

The flattening of the infection curve over the past few days has seen Beijing lower the risk alert for parts of the capital. The city now has only one region designated as high-risk for COVID-19 infection and 15 areas labeled as medium risk, locating in the city's Fengtai, Haidian, Daxing and Changping districts as of Thursday afternoon.

People residing in medium- and high-risk regions are currently not allowed to leave Beijing.

Despite the lowered risk, municipal officials caution the public to stay vigilant, wear masks and follow social distancing rules to avoid large gatherings.

"Zero increase does not mean zero risk," Xu Hejian, the spokesperson for the municipal government, told media on Thursday.
