China's National Health Commission also reported four new domestic infections in Hebei province, including &nbsp;Sichuan province even as there were reports of at least eight imported cases.

"A cluster like this is a concern and it needs to be investigated and controlled -- and that is exactly what the Chinese authorities are doing," World Health Organisation (WHO) said.

Chinese health officials had earlier said that the earlier infections were linked to the Xinfadi market after 8,000 workers tested positive for the virus. Chinese authorities on Monday had shut all indoor sports to contain the virus.

The city had earlier reported 100 cases of COVID-19 which was confirmed by the WHO. As reports of the virus spread, state Xinhua news agency reported that students should revert to stay-at-home schooling even as authorities locked 21 housing estates near Xinfadi.

In a bid to contain the spread of the virus, Chinese authorities began aggressive "test and trace programme" designating at least 200 centres across the nation's capital for testing the virus.

US Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has withdrawn emergency authorization of hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) to treat coronavirus patients.

"It is no longer reasonable to believe that oral formulations of HCQ and CQ may be effective in treating COVID-19," Denise Hinton, head scientist, FDA, said, adding,"nor is it reasonable to believe that the known and potential benefits of these products outweigh their known and potential risk."

"Accordingly, FDA revokes the EUA for emergency use of HCQ and CQ to treat COVID-19," Hinton added.

The anti-malarial drug was touted by US President Donald Trump as a possible cure for COVID-19, despite many experts doubting its effectiveness.

The World Health Organization had earlier paused its trial after a Lancet report said it increased fatalities. However, the medical journal later claimed that that the study had shortcomings leading the WHO to restart the trial.

The drug was authorised&nbsp;in March as the coronavirus pandemic swept the United States after experiments revealed that the drug inactivated the virus in test tubes, however, later it became a controversial issue over safety concerns.

In May,&nbsp;President Trump,74, had claimed that he has taken the drug asserting, "I can't complain about it, I took it for two weeks." "I felt good about taking it," the president stressed.

A Russian court on Monday sentenced ex-US marine Paul Whelan to 16 years in prison in an espionage case.

The trial was held behind closed doors since Whelan was accused of gathering state secrets, however, he called it a "sham trial" and asked for US President Donald Trump's intervention.

Whelan, 50, was arrested in December 2018 when he was on a visit to Russia for a wedding. He took a USB drive from an acquaintance&nbsp;which he said he thought contained holiday photographs. The US ambassador to Russia had said earlier that was an unfair trial with US&nbsp;secretary of state Mike Pompeo demanding his release last month.

Whelan's health had deteriorated during the trial&nbsp;as US secretary of state demanded his release, saying: "It is unacceptable that Paul Whelan has been denied necessary medical treatment until his condition became dire."

However, Russian foreign ministry said he was receiving "all necessary medical assistance."

Russia's prosecutor during the trial, however, stressed that the ex-marine had information on Russia's state secret. Whelan was earlier "dishonorably discharged" as a marine.

The verdict comes even as relations between Russia and the US continue to be on the edge with the Trump administration having put sanctions on the country.

A Russian court on Monday sentenced ex-US marine Paul Whelan to 16 years in prison in an espionage case. The trial was held behind closed doors since Whelan was accused of gathering state secrets, however, he called it a "sham trial" and asked for US President Donald Trump's intervention.
