31 March, 2020
Mainland China reported on Tuesday (Mar 31) a rise in new confirmed coronavirus cases, reversing four days of declines, due to an uptick in infections involving travellers arriving from overseas.
Mainland China had 48 new cases on Monday, the National Health Commission said in a statement, up from 31 new infections a day earlier.
Each of the 48 cases were imported, bringing the total number of imported cases in China to 771 by Monday.
There is no reported new case of local infection on Monday, in line with the National Health Commission.
China cut international flights massively from Sunday for an indefinite period, after it commenced denying entry to virtually all foreigners a day earlier.
