02 May, 2020
China reported one new COVID-19 case on Friday (May 1), down from 12 a day earlier, data from the country’s health authority showed on Saturday.
The brand new case was imported, the National Health Commission (NHC) said, down from six imported cases a day earlier. China reported no domestic transmission cases down from six the day before.
The NHC also reported 20 new asymptomatic cases for May 1, down from 25 a day earlier.
The total number of confirmed cases in the united states has reached 82,875. With no new deaths on Friday, the toll remained at 4,633.
Companies, schools and people across China are lining up to be tested for the virus as the united states rises back again to normal life after largely taming the epidemic.
Biotech companies are ramping up production of test kits with demand growing despite lingering questions over their accuracy, as the government is pushing for more testing.
Where most testing had previously centered on people that have symptoms, especially in the central city of Wuhan where in fact the virus first emerged, demand is now soaring across China.
Beijing has seen many of the most strident demand, with many taking the test before business trips, and a drive-through service create in among the capital's districts.
