Beijing recorded no new domestically transmitted COVID-19 cases on Friday for the fifth day in a row. The total number of cases in the city stands at 335 since a cluster outbreak was discovered at the Xinfadi market on June 11, the municipal health commission said on Saturday.

Twelve more patients recovered on Friday, taking the total number of recoveries to 84. The final disinfection in Xinfadi market has passed a strict disinfection control process and a result evaluation. The environment in the market has become harmless and the original contamination has been eliminated, a medical expert told media Saturday afternoon.

Except for the beef and mutton trade hall in the market, which needs to be closed for some time due to its virus traceability, other areas have been able to return to normal, the expert added.
