Wang again tested positive for the virus after a throat swab COVID-19 test in Qianjiang on Tuesday night during a follow-up health visit by local authorities, according to a circular released by the local epidemic prevention and control headquarters.

Wang and his three family members were put under quarantine for medical observation Tuesday night.

All residents of the community where Wang lives will undergo nucleic acid tests.
