China studies 46 new coronavirus circumstances, up from 42 a day earlier
11 April, 2020
China on Saturday (Apr 11) reported a growth in new coronavirus situations, as authorities make an effort to head off a second wave of COVID-19, particularly from imported and asymptomatic attacks, as city and travelling restrictions are lifted.
The National Well being Commission said 46 new cases were reported on Fri, including 42 involving travellers from overseas, up from 42 cases a day earlier.
The commission said in a statement that 34 new asymptomatic coronavirus cases were reported, down from 47 the previous day.
Mainland China's tally of attacks now stands at 81,953. The death toll rose by three to 3,339.
Severe travel and transit restrictions imposed since January have helped bring the amount of new infections downward sharply from the height of the epidemic on February. But policymakers dread a second wave triggered by persons entering the country from abroad or asymptomatic patients.
The northeastern Heilongjiang province has reported a spike in new cases recently due to Chinese nationals entering the province from Russia, where there has been a surge of new coronavirus cases.
Heilongjiang's health authority explained on Saturday the province possessed 22 new imported conditions on Fri - all Chinese nationals via Russia, and one latest local case in the province, in the provincial capital Harbin.
Hubei province reported very little new conditions for the seventh evening in a row.
The virus, which first broke out in the Chinese city of Wuhan - the capital of Hubei, in later 2019, has since spread all over the world infecting more than 1.56 million persons and killing a lot more than 95,000.
