Beijing on Monday recorded two new COVID-19 cases, one related to a confirmed case from northeast China's Dalian City and one imported from overseas, the municipal health commission said on Tuesday.

The new cases came after the Chinese capital city had reported no new cases for 21 days.  

One of the two new patients, a 53-year-old female, dined with an asymptomatic coronavirus carrier from Dalian on July 18 and then traveled to Beijing.

Local authorities have adjusted the emergency response level of the community where the case is located to the second highest, and conducted nucleic acid tests on 600 residents of the building where the infected lives.

The other case is a 63-year-old Indonesian male, who flew from Jakarta, stopped over in Hong Kong before arriving in Beijing, on Sunday.

Fourteen more patients have recovered from COVID-19 in the city, as the number of active cases from the Xinfadi wholesale market cluster dropped to 25.

From June 11 to July 27, Beijing reported 335 confirmed COVID-19 cases linked to the Xinfadi market, of whom 310 had been discharged from hospitals after recovery.

Four asymptomatic cases are still under medical observation, according to the health commission.
