Six markets have been shut down in Beijing and 11 residential districts forced into lockdown amid fears of a second wave after more than a month in the clear.
More than 50 people have tested positive in the Chinese capital with the source of the outbreak believed to be the Xinfadi wholesale food market.
Beijing officials said 45 of the infected people worked in the market, though they showed no symptoms.
That was in addition to seven earlier cases of people with symptoms, including six who had visited or worked at the market.
Overall, China has reported its biggest one-day jump in coronavirus cases in two months.
The nationwide total of 57 new confirmed coronavirus infections represents the highest daily number since April 13 and has heightened fears that a dreaded ‘second wave’ of is underway.
Beijing authorities, who had not seen a locally transmitted infection in more than 50 days, immediately reversed some recent moves to relax coronavirus restrictions.
The Beijing News newspaper said Communist Party members and volunteers were being organised to shop for food and other daily necessities for affected residents in the quarantine zone.
