北京正为可能的第二波冠状病毒感染做准备，因为它正竞相遏制以大规模批发为中心的快速发展的集群食物中国首都南部的分销市场。
北京有一些最严格的预防措施中国自从病毒在大约700英里外的武汉市首次被发现以来。北京在很大程度上避免了持续爆发，在50多天里，当地没有COVID-19病例。
但自上周四以来，已有79例新确诊病例与占地260英亩的巨大新发地批发市场有关。新发地自称是亚洲最大的农产品市场，服务于首都以及毗邻的河北、辽宁、山东和山西省。
北京市卫生委员会发言人高晓军周一表示，北京市已经检测了76499人，另外还有59例阳性病例。
负责中国冠状病毒应对工作的中国政治网成员孙春兰周日警告称，“市场人口密集，流动性强，疫情传播的风险很高。”
他补充说，“有必要采取坚决果断的措施来有效地防止疫情的蔓延。”
2020年6月15日，在中国北京，人们在上班高峰时间戴着防护面具。
据《工人日报》报道，市场总经理以及两名当地官员因玩忽职守被撤职。
周六，市场所在地丰台区政府表示，通过关闭市场，政府采取了“战时机制”。现在人们关心的是这个星系团扩散了多远。在离北京两个省的辽宁省发现了新病例。
新疫情的来源尚不清楚。中国《环球时报》报道称，在一家进口三文鱼供应商的砧板上检测到病毒后，北京各地的超市和餐馆已经将三文鱼下架。
中国三大鲑鱼进口国是智利、挪威和法罗群岛。
中国疾病预防控制中心研究员杨鹏周日在接受中央电视台采访时表示，市场本身的低温可能有助于传播，对该病毒的初步检测显示，它与欧洲发现的病毒株相似。他说他不确定病毒是如何被引入市场的。
Beijing braces for a possible 2nd wave of coronavirus infections
Beijing is preparing for a possible second wave of coronavirus infections as it races to contain a fast-moving cluster centered around a large wholesalefooddistribution market in the southern part of the Chinese capital.
Beijing has some of the strictest preventative measures inChinasince the virus was first detected in the city of Wuhan, some 700 miles away. Beijing has largely avoid a sustained outbreak, with zero local cases of COVID-19 for over 50 days.
But 79 new confirmed cases have been linked to the enormous 260-acre Xinfadi wholesale market, which touts itself as the largest agricultural market in Asia, serving the capital as well the bordering provinces of Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong and Shanxi, since last Thursday.
Gao Xiaojun, a spokesman for Beijing's municipal health commission, said Monday that the city has already tested total of 76,499 people, with an additional 59 positive cases.
Chinese Politiburo member, Sun Chunlan, who has been responsible for China’s coronavirus response, warned Sunday that “the market is densely populated and highly mobile and the risk of the epidemic spreading is high.”
He added, “It is necessary to take firm and decisive measures to effectively prevent the spread of the epidemic.”
People wear protective masks as they head to work during morning rush hour in Beijing, China, June 15, 2020.
According to the Worker’s Daily newspaper, the general manager of the market as well two local officials have been removed from their jobs for negligence.
On Saturday, the Fengtai district government, where the market is located, said it adopted “wartime mechanisms” by closing the market. The concern now is the how far this cluster has spread. New cases have been detected in Liaoning, two provinces away from Beijing.
The source of the new outbreak is unclear. China’s Global Times reported that supermarkets and restaurants across Beijing have been taking salmon off their shelves after the virus was detected on the cutting board of an imported salmon vendor.
China's top three salmon importers are Chile, Norway and the Faroe Islands.
In an interview with CCTV Sunday, China CDC researcher Yang Peng said the low temperatures within the market itself may have aided transmission and that preliminary tests of the virus showed it is was similar to the strain found in Europe. He said he was unsure how the virus was introduced into the market.
