Coronavirus infections have occurred in Beijing. The city is exercising a “wartime” mechanism in some parts of the city. Several provinces and cities warned their residents not to go to Beijing.
1. China’s National Health Commission reported one coronavirus infection case in Beijing on June 11 and another six on June 12. Most of the infection cases were traced back to the Xinfadi agricultural products wholesale market in Fengtai District, Beijing. Authorities conducted a nucleic acid test on 1,940 people working in the agricultural products wholesale fields. Out of the 517 test samples from the Xinfadi wholesale market, an additional 45 people tested positive.
Fengtai District started a “wartime” mechanism. It locked down 11 residential communities with people watching the entrance around the clock, discontinued schooling for 3 elementary schools and 6 kindergartens in the vicinity of the Xinfadi wholesale market, conducted traffic control at the Xinfadi exit from the highway, and blocked several streets next to the market.

中国国家卫生健康委员会官网通报，周五（6月12号）新增2019冠状病毒疾病确诊病例11例，其中境外移入5例，本土病例6例均在首都北京市。
北京此前已连续56天未新增2019冠状病毒疾病本土确诊病例，但从11日爆出新冠肺炎本土确诊病例后，疫情持续扩散。官方通报称，经流行病学调查，新增本土病例均有丰台区新发地农产品批发市场活动史，通过采集确诊病例相关的外环境标本，有核酸检测阳性报告。
经对北京1940名市场从业人员进行核酸检测，在新发地市场采集的517件样品中，有45人咽拭子呈阳性，另在海淀区一农贸市场中发现1例阳性，是新发地确诊病例的密切接触者。
新发地所在的丰台区也紧急制定社区防控指引，丰台区启动战时机制，成立现场指挥部。对市场周边11个小区实施封闭管理措施，落实24小时专人值守。市场周边3所小学、6所幼儿园已返校的班级立即停课，未返校的班级暂缓复课。京开高速出京方向新发地出口采取临时交通管理措施。除此以外，市场周边多条道路已经采取了临时封路措施。
另据报道，6月12日0时至24时，辽宁省新增无症状感染者2例，均为北京市12日报告的确诊病例密切接触者。
