Beijing authorities have ordered mass coronavirus testing and locked down some locations in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu following the detection of two new virus cases there.
According to an AP report, Chengdu health officials identified the cases as a 69-year-old woman, whose condition is listed as serious, and her 71-year-old husband who has yet to show symptoms.
Five locations in Chengdu's Ludu district have been sealed off, including a hospital, a school and a wholesale market and more than 21,000 people tested as of Monday evening, the government said.
