Beijing reported two new infections of COVID-19 on Sunday including one who tested positive after returning from a business trip to North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Beijing authorities raised the alert of preventing imported cases by placing strict restrictions on the entry to the city for people with a travel history to places where local infections have been reported, as imported cases are still considered the biggest risk to the city's current epidemic prevention.
The two infected patients are identified to be a couple living in Shijingshan district, Beijing. The husband drove to Inner Mongolia for a business trip and back to Shijingshan between July 25 and August 2. He tested negative for COVID-19 on August 3 and developed symptoms of headache and sore throat the next day. The other infected individual, the wife, showed symptoms including fever on Saturday.
Being placed under home quarantine since Friday, the couple tested positive on Sunday and were confirmed as mild cases.
