In Beijing, 14 new confirmed cases were reported, down from 17 a day earlier.
Since Jun 11 when Beijing reported its initially case in today's outbreak, stemming from a sprawling wholesale food centre in the southwest of the administrative centre, 311 people in the city of more than 20 million have contracted the virus.
Mainland China reported three new so-called imported cases on Friday, infections linked to travellers arriving from abroad. That compares with four cases a day earlier.
