Another asymptomatic case was confirmed and has been reported.

From 0:00 to 15:00 on June 8, there were no new local cases of novel coronavirus infection.

From April 22 to 15:00 on June 8, the city has reported a total of 1,831 cases of novel coronavirus infection, involving 15 districts and Economic Development Zones, including 429 cases in Chaoyang District, 416 cases in Fengtai District, 413 cases in Fangshan District, 291 cases in Haidian District, 79 cases in Tongzhou District, 44 cases in Shunyi District, 42 cases in Xicheng District, 35 cases in Changping District, 31 cases in Dongcheng District, 23 cases in Shijingshan District, 16 cases in Daxing District, 6 cases in Mentougou District, 2 cases each in Miyun District and Yanqing District, and 1 case each in Huairou District and Economic Development Zone.

At present, the city’s previous transmission chains have been effectively blocked. The secondary infections in recent cluster outbreaks are all from people under quarantine and observation. This round of epidemic has achieved phased results.

However, with the restoration of normal production and living order, the mobility and aggregation of people have increased, increasing the risk of epidemic transmission. We must continue to consolidate the hard-earned prevention and control results, adhere to the general strategy of "preventing imported cases from outside and rebound from inside", strictly implement the "four responsibilities", strictly guard against and strictly and practically implement various prevention and control measures.

We will insist on conducting nucleic acid screening for key industries and key groups and routine nucleic acid testing for citizens in parallel, to ensure that everyone who should be tested is tested is tested.

We will continue to strengthen the standardized management and service guarantee of closed control areas, centralized isolation, and home isolation, and strictly implement prevention and control measures such as nucleic acid testing, antigen self-testing, and health monitoring. Communities (villages), units, buildings, "seven small" stores, entertainment venues, supermarkets and other public places must strictly measure temperature and scan codes, check nucleic acid negative certificates within 72 hours, and promote the construction of "epidemic-free communities".

Citizens should continue to adhere to epidemic prevention and control, strictly abide by various epidemic prevention regulations, avoid traveling or going on business trips to medium- and high-risk areas, undergo nucleic acid testing as required, cooperate with all staff in scanning codes and taking temperatures when entering public places, check nucleic acid negative certificates, wear masks scientifically, maintain a safe social distance, and pay attention to hand hygiene.

People entering and returning to Beijing must strictly comply with the nucleic acid negative certificate inspection within 48 hours and the "Beijing Health Code" green code. They must undergo a nucleic acid test 24 hours and 72 hours after arriving in Beijing. People arriving in Beijing are not allowed to have dinner or parties within 7 days, and working from home is encouraged.

Today is the second day of the college entrance examination. Candidates and their parents are reminded to avoid gathering in groups around the examination sites, pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling, and take the initiative to take personal protection measures.

After preliminary epidemiological investigation, the newly added risk points are as follows:

June 1

09:00-10:30 Sanqi Baihui Market Hall, Changping District

June 2

09:14-10:29 Building 3, District 4, Longtengyuan, Longzeyuan Street, Changping District

June 3

09:20-09:35 Ai Convenience Supermarket (Longyueyuan Store)

09:36-09:45 Baiguoyuan Fruit Store (Huilongguan Branch)

If there are people who have intersections in time and space at the above-mentioned risk points, or people who have received pop-up reminders from the Health Code, please immediately report to your community, village, workplace, or hotel, and cooperate in implementing various prevention and control measures.

Epidemic prevention and control situation in Beijing

Continue to improve

Pang Xinghuo introduced that the number of new cases in Beijing has dropped to single digits, and there were no new social cases from 15:00 on June 4 to 7. The epidemic prevention and control situation continues to improve, and the results of prevention and control are hard-won. The dynamic zero-clearing task is still very heavy, especially with the dynamic implementation of social prevention and control measures in different regions and levels, the mobility and aggregation of people increase, and the risk of epidemic also increases. Epidemic prevention and control cannot be relaxed at all, and must be constantly grasped. Only by strictly and practically implementing various prevention and control measures can we maintain the normal production and living order without interruption and lay a solid foundation for dynamic zero-clearing.
