The latest cases of contamination were discovered in a wholesale market in northwestern Beijing, in the Haidian district, after the gigantic fresh produce market in Xinfadi in the south of the Chinese metropolis had already closed last week. Fengtai: 11 residential areas quarantined in that area.   

In the past 24 hours, there have been 49 new cases of coronaviruses across China, including 36 in the capital. Several cities in the country are now advising their residents to avoid travel to Beijing. Three of the new cases were registered in the nearby Hebei province. The other ten are people from foreign countries.   

Nationally, 18 symptom-free cases were also counted, which the Chinese government does not include in its total statistics. In total, China has officially counted over 83,000 cases of contagion since the outbreak, including 4,634 fatal.

The governor of New York , Andrew Cuomo, threatens to close Manhattan and the Hamptons again, the seaside resort near the Big Apple refuge of the city's millionaires. Cuomo uses harsh words to describe the images of gatherings and the thousands of complaints filed for failure to comply with the rules imposed for reopening after the coronavirus. Words that send the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, furiously: "imprisoning people" is not the answer, "we have to find a balance between security and the need for companies to reopen," says de Blasio through his spokesman.
