BEIJING — A total of 18,755 metric tons of vegetables were supplied to Beijing via three transfer stations between late June and July 3, as part of measures to ensure food supplies following a COVID-19 outbreak at the city's Xinfadi market, local authorities said on July 4.

The transfer stations, two located in North China's Hebei province and one in a suburb of Beijing, played an important role in ensuring the supplies, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform said.

According to data from the Beijing Capital Agribusiness & Foods Group, the prices of vegetables and fruits in Beijing remain stable.

From June 11 to July 3, Beijing reported 332 confirmed locally transmitted COVID-19 cases, mostly linked to an outbreak at the city's Xinfadi food market, according to the municipal health commission.
