China reported 57 new COVID-19 cases of the highest daily figure since April, as concerns grew about a resurgence of the virus.
코로나바이러스의 재발에 대한 우려가 커진 가운데, 중국에서 지난 4월 이후 하루 기준 최고치인 57건의 새로운 감염 사례가 보고됐다.
The domestic outbreak in China had been brought largely under control through strict lockdowns that were imposed early this year ― but a new outbreak has been linked to a meat and vegetable market in south Beijing.
중국에서 발생한 코로나바이러스는 올해 초 내려진 엄격한 봉쇄조치를 통해 대부분 억제되었지만, 베이징 남부의 한 농산물 시장이 새로운 감염사태에 연루됐다.
The National Health Commission (NHC) said 36 of the new cases were domestic infections in the capital.
중국 국가위생건강위원회(NHC)는 신규 확진 사례 중 36건이 베이징 내 내국인 감염이라고 밝혔다.
The other two domestic infections reported Sunday were in northeastern Liaoning province, and local health officials said they were close contacts of the Beijing cases.
또 다른 2건의 중국 내 감염사례가 중국 동북부 지역인 랴오닝성에서 발생했으며, 현지 보건당국 관계자들은 이들이 베이징 확진자들과 밀접한 접촉을 가졌다고 밝혔다.
Several of the new cases were linked to the Xinfadi wholesale market, and more cases connected with the market emerged Saturday after wider testing.
신파디 도매시장과 관련된 신규 확진 사례도 여러 건이 나왔으며, 토요일 광범위한 검사가 시행되자 이 시장과 관련된 확진자들이 더 많이 나왔다.
The market was closed and AFP reporters saw hundreds of police officers ― many wearing masks and gloves ― and dozens of paramilitary police deployed there on Saturday. (AFP)
신파디 도매시장은 현재 폐쇄되었으며, 마스크와 장갑을 낀 수백명의 경찰관들과 수십 명의 전경들이 토요일 해당 시장에 배치되는 것을 AFP통신 기자들이 목격했다.
