Beijing on Wednesday ordered people arriving in the city from any country to go into 14-day quarantine as
China reported an increase in imported coronavirus cases, threatening its progress against the epidemic.
China has made major strides in its battle against the virus, prompting President
Xi Jinping to visit Wuhan, the central city at the heart of the global epidemic, on Tuesday and declare that it has "basically curbed" the spread of the disease.
People arriving in
Beijing for business trips must stay in a designated hotel and undergo a nucleic acid test for the virus, he added.
