BEIJING, March 11 — Chinese citizens overseas with coronavirus-related symptoms should seek treatment locally, a Beijing city government official said today as the capital seeks to ward off a resurgence in infections.

Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of Beijing’s Centre for Diseases Prevention and Control, told a news briefing that Chinese citizens living abroad should avoid delaying treatment and prevent the trans-border spread of the virus.
