		</div><p>China’s capital began testing millions of residents and shutting down residential and business districts on Monday amid a new outbreak of Covid-19.</p>
<p>While only 70 cases of coronavirus have been found in Beijing, which has a population of more than 21 million, since the outbreak surfaced on Friday, authorities have implemented extreme measures to prevent its further spread.</p>
<p>Residents were staying home and stocking up on food as a safeguard against the possibility that they could be confined indoors, as has happened in multiple cities including the financial hub of Shanghai.</p>
<p>Shanghai, which has been locked down for more than two weeks, reported more than 19,000 new infections and 51 deaths in the latest 24-hour period, pushing its death toll from the ongoing outbreak to more than 100.</p>
<p>Long lines formed in supermarkets in central Beijing.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Shoppers snapped up rice, noodles, vegetables and other food items, while store workers hastily restocked some empty shelves.</p>
<p>State media issued reports saying supplies remained plentiful in Beijing despite the buying surge.</p>
<p>Shoppers appeared concerned but not yet panicked.</p>
<p>One woman, carrying two bags of vegetables, eggs and frozen dumplings, said she is buying a little more than usual. A man said he is not worried but is just being cautious as he has a two-year-old daughter.</p>

<p>Beijing reported 29 new cases in the previous day, bringing the total to 70 since Friday.</p>
<p>Testing sites were set up overnight and in the early morning at residential complexes and office buildings around the district of Chaoyang.</p>
<p>The central city Anyang, along with Dandong on the border with North Korea, also announced lockdowns as the Omicron variant spreads across the vast country.</p>
<p>China’s borders remain largely closed as its hardline response and the pandemic’s economic impact continue to grow.</p>
