COVID-19: China's Tianjin enters 'wartime' mode after new local case

North China's Tianjin Municipality has entered "wartime" mode after a new local COVID-19 infection was reported, local authorities announced Sunday.

The latest development comes after a worker at a cold storage facility in the port city tested positive for COVID-19 and is at a designated hospital for treatment.

The 38-year-old man had no contact history with other confirmed or suspected cases but was exposed to imported frozen food during his work. Doctors diagnosed him as a mild case.

Tracing his close contacts, collecting and testing environmental samples and disinfection work are underway.
