A Covid-19 outbreak linked to a bar in China's capital Beijing, which has resulted in 166 people testing positive so far, is “ferocious", said local government spokesman Xu Hejian on Sunday.

The outbreak at the Chaoyang Heaven Supermarket Bar emerged last week and is at a rapidly spreading stage.

More cases are expected to be discovered among visitors to the bar and their close contacts, deputy director of Beijing disease control and prevention centre Liu Xiaofeng has said.
