China reports just one new domestic case of coronavirus in a day
China has reported just one domestic case of coronavirus today but found 20 more cases imported from abroad, threatening to spoil its progress, accoding to Daily Mail.
The single case in Wuhan will boost China's view that it has 'basically curbed' the spread of the pathogen which emerged in the city last December.
But the country is now concerned about an influx of cases from abroad, with an average of 20,000 people flying into China every day.
In a reversal of roles, Beijing is now requiring almost all international arrivals to go into 14-day quarantine in designated hotels.
China also reported 13 new deaths today, raising its toll to 3,226.
The country has recorded 80,881 total cases, but fewer than 9,000 people remain infected.
