Just when you thought it was safe to go back outside, China proves itself as the country that keeps on giving. Euroweekly News reports.

Over 1,000 flights into and out of Beijing have been grounded today, after the alarm was raised over fears of a new outbreak of coronavirus.

There have been reports emerging from the city all day of a “mutant strain” of the virus, which highlighted calls for vigilance from Beijing’s authorities.

[…]Restrictions have been renewed for millions of people in the Chinese capital, as the spike in cases cripples the city.

[…]The last infections were linked to a massive food market in Beijing, which supplies 80% of the city’s meat and vegetable.

Now why doesn’t that surprise me? Either that or there’s a virus research lab close by.

The market has now been shut down.
