Three rounds of mass testing have been announced by Beijing’s most populated district, Chaoyang, to combat a “ferocious” COVID-19 spike connected to a bar i last week, only days after the city eased restrictions imposed during an outbreak in April.

So far, 115 cases and 6,158 close connections have been traced to the bar, reigniting fear in the city of 22 million people.

Beijing eased restrictions just two weeks ago after a wave of omicron infections eased.

Many areas of the capital have been placed under lockdown, and inhabitants have been instructed to stay at home.
