A new Covid-19 outbreak in Beijing has interrupted the Chinese capital’s tentative reopening after a recent wave of cases. The Chinese capital was put under partial lockdown in late April 2022 after infection numbers started to rise. The more recent outbreak was described as “ferocious” by a local official, who said it was traced to the Heaven Supermarket, a bar in Sanlitun, a popular entertainment district in central Beijing. As of June 13, 2022, some 228 Covid-19 cases reported across Beijing had been linked to the Heaven Supermarket bar. Entertainment venues in Beijing had just been allowed to reopen as Covid restrictions had been eased days earlier.
