The city of Beijing will conduct another three rounds of mass testing in 11 major administrative districts and the Yizhuang economic development zone in the three days starting Tuesday, to curb the spread of COVID-19 as epidemic control in the Chinese capital remains at “a critical stage.”

Li Ang, a spokesperson from the Beijing Health Commission, announced the above decision at a press conference on Monday. He said that since April 25, the city has carried out several rounds of nucleic acid screening, which has played an important role in detecting hot spots, controlling risks, and blocking the spread of the epidemic.

Beijing, which has already conducted three rounds of testing in COVID-hit regions from April 25 to 29 and in major districts like Chaoyang and Haidian, reported 50 infections on Monday, including 41 confirmed cases and nine silent carries, according to the Beijing Health Commission.
