China reports no new local virus cases for second day
China reported no new domestic COVID-19 infections for the second consecutive day, a significant milestone amid concerns about imported cases potentially triggering a second wave.
The National Health Commission reported only three new fatalities, the lowest daily increase since it started publishing figures in January, bringing the nationwide death toll to 3,248.
Italy's death toll has now surpassed China's, highlighting the global shift of the crisis.
China has recorded nearly 81,000 infections, with fewer than 7,000 people still sick.
To mitigate the risk from a surge in imported infections, China has implemented mandatory 14-day quarantines for most international arrivals, with regions like Beijing enforcing this policy.
