On January 19, local time, a media within the internet firewall (built by the Chinese Communist Party) reported that Beijing added five new local positive cases that day. Among the infectious patients, four people worked in a cold storage unit in Fangshan District in charge of loading and unloading goods, and another one lived with them and worked in the same cold storage unit.
So far, Beijing has had nine COVID positive cases in four days, and the cases had either the Omicron or Delta variants detected. Haidian District, Chaoyang District, Fangshan District, Fengtai District have had new confirmed local cases with positive nucleic acid tests.
According to informed individuals, Beijing hasn’t identified the reasons for the outbreak yet, and the sources could be multiple. Therefore, Beijing is at a high risk of further COVID outbreaks in the near future. Whether or not the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which the CCP has been working so hard on, will be affected has become a huge concern.
