Beijing has tested 11.88 million people for COVID-19 from June 11 to July 14, accounting for half of the city's resident population. The Chinese capital responded swiftly after the first case in a cluster outbreak was reported on June 11. Through nucleic acid test screening Beijing has detected 53.8 percent of the COVID-19 cases, which played a huge part in getting the outbreak effectively contained.
