BEIJING: China reported 17 new COVID-19 cases in the mainland on Sunday (May 10), rising from a day earlier and marking the highest daily increase since Apr 28, highlighting the difficulty in stamping out the disease.
Though the new case count remains sharply lower than the peak of the outbreak in February, the data underscores continued risks posed by COVID-19. With the pandemic having spread globally, Beijing continues to exhort vigilance even as it tries to restart the economy.
Of the new cases reported on Sunday, seven were imported cases in Inner Mongolia involving travellers from overseas, compared with two reported a day earlier.
Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak in China, reported five new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases, the highest since Mar 11. All were in the same residential compound in the city.
