"The COVID-19 outbreak in Heaven bar in Chaoyang is severe in both the scale and concentration. It is harder to control and prevent it from spreading than the last one," city government spokesman Xu Hejian said.
The outbreak began this week, spreading to 14 Beijing districts in a matter of days. City authorities plan to test Chaoyang residents from Monday to Wednesday.
