A new local case of COVID-19 was discovered in Beijing's Xicheng district, the municipal government announced on Thursday.
A resident surnamed Tang, 52, had gone to the hospital alone by bicycle and wearing a mask on Wednesday afternoon after feeling cold and exhausted. He had no cough or congestion at that time.
His coronavirus test was confirmed positive on Thursday, said Miao Jianhong, deputy head of Xicheng district.
