China risks second wave of coronavirus infection from patients FORCE-TODAY
China already has an accumulated total of 693 cases entering from overseas, which means the possibility of a new round of infections remains relatively big, Mi Feng, the spokesman, said.
In the last seven days, China has reported 313 imported cases of coronavirus but only 6 confirmed cases of domestic transmission, the commission’s data showed.
There were 45 new coronavirus cases reported in the mainland for Saturday, down from 54 on the previous day, with all but one involving travellers from overseas. Most of those imported cases have involved Chinese returning home from abroad.
Airlines have been ordered to sharply cut international flights from Sunday. And restrictions on foreigners entering the country went into effect on Saturday. A total of 3,300 people have now died in mainland China, with a reported 81,439 infections. FORCE-TODAY NEWS PRIYANK GHILDIYAL M-DIR
