China reported 47 new COVID-19 deaths on Saturday, raising the total death toll to 2,835.
The National Health Commission also tallied 427 new cases, bringing the total number of infections to 79,251.
Forty-five of the new deaths were in Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak, with 420 new cases in its capital, Wuhan.
While the number of new cases rose from the previous day, they remain in the hundreds, far below the huge daily increases recorded more than 10 days ago.
The World Health Organization previously stated that there were more daily cases abroad than in China.
China has placed 56 million people in Hubei under strict quarantine and limited crowds nationwide to contain the virus.
Measures such as school closures remain in place, though businesses have slowly started to reopen.
