[May 20, 12pm] COVID-19 Update: The Latest Numbers
On a daily basis, we will be updating you with information on the latest COVID-19 cases in Beijing and China as reported by the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau (wjw.beijing.gov.cn) and the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (nhc.gov.cn).
Over the last two weeks as Beijing has rolled out mandatory citywide testing, we've noticed a distinct increase in the number of asymptomatic cases. In the past, it was one or two a week and were only added to our graphic as they became classified as a confirmed (symptomatic) case.
Over the past week, this number has climbed and thus from today, you will note the graph now includes asymptomatic cases as a separate category.
Below are the latest updates. For our full coverage and other COVID-19-related articles in Beijing, see our story archive by clicking on "Read more" at the bottom of this post.
