9:25 am: China reports 5 new cases, no additional deaths
China’s National Health Commission said there were five new coronavirus cases in the past day. Two of those cases were “imported,” while the remaining three were detected in the northeastern province of Jilin, said NHC.
That brings the total number of confirmed cases in mainland China to 82,947, according to the commission. The country’s death toll remained at 4,634, said NHC.
Jilin province has experienced a resurgence in cases. Last week, Shulan — a city in the province — reported new cases for the first time in more than 70 days. That prompted authorities to reinstate some restrictions, such as closing sporting facilities and libraries, and halting some train services. — Yen Nee Lee
