Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>A total of 166 Covid infections in China have been linked to a single bar in the capital Beijing, officials say.<\/b><\/p>\n

A government spokesman described the outbreak as “ferocious”.<\/p>\n

All residents living in the area where the bar is located will be tested over the next three days.<\/p>\n

The number of infections in the city is low by international standards but high for China, which is the world’s only major economy still maintaining a “zero Covid” policy.<\/p>\n

The outbreak was traced to a venue called the Heaven Supermarket Bar, in the well-known entertainment area of Sanlitun in Chaoyang district.<\/p>\n

Two buildings housing hundreds of people in Chaoyang were put under strict lockdown on Sunday after a positive case was reported, a residential committee worker told Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n

Some people in Beijing said they were sent texts telling them to report to authorities if they had recently visited Sanlitun’s bars.<\/p>\n

Chinese officials have reversed the relaxation of some Covid rules in Beijing because of the outbreak.<\/p>\n

Most children in the capital will not return to school next week as originally planned, officials said.<\/p>\n

The capital has reported 1,997 local Covid cases since 22 April.<\/p>\n

Relief and caution as Shanghai returns to life<\/p>\n

China’s overall policy of “zero Covid” remains in place and people catching Covid face quarantine or hospital.<\/p>\n

Their close contacts also face the prospect of removal to quarantine and the area immediately around where they live being locked down again.<\/p>\n

The city of Shanghai, the country’s economic centre and a global trade hub, recently eased Covid curbs after a two-month lockdown.<\/p>\n
