Beijing's only high-risk area downgrades COVID-19 risk level

Huaxiang Township in Beijing's Fengtai District, the only high-risk area in the Chinese capital, lowered its COVID-19 risk level from highest to medium on Monday. 

An official from the municipal government said the decision was made as Huaxiang has reported less than 10 domestic infections each day for 14 consecutive days. 

Xinfadi wholesale market, where an infection cluster was discovered on June 11, is located in Huaxiang.

As of Monday afternoon, there are only seven medium-risk areas across Beijing's Fengtai and Daxing districts.
