The National Health Commission said in a statement the quantity of new asymptomatic patients, who are infected with the virus however, not showing symptoms, also rose to 42 from 37 a day earlier.
A total of 82,788 COVID-19 cases have been reported to date in mainland China, as the number of deaths remained unchanged at 4,632.
On Tuesday, China saw the return of COVID-19 cases in its northwest region, as the province of Shaanxi reported its first cases in practically three weeks.
China also warned its citizens against travelling abroad, because they "should fully examine the 'serious' threat of getting infected rather than being able to return".
A first-of-a-kind state lawsuit against China was lodged by the united states state of Missouri on Tuesday, amid calls in Congress to punish China and a campaign by President Donald Trump to give attention to Beijing's role, amid criticism of his own handling of the crisis.
