Dec.24 (UPI) — New COVID-19 cases in China’s capital and other cities could be placing authorities on alert as Chinese state media downplays the cases in Beijing, Tianjin and Chengdu. Cases in Beijing could be on the rise after a hotel in the Chaoyang District was classified a “medium-risk” location. The Hangting Hotel in the Dashanzi neighborhood was the site of two COVID-19 cases, according to state media earlier this week. Chinese news services did not provide updates on the situation Thursday. Beijing sealed off a residential complex in the Shunyi District on Wednesday, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap.
