Number Of New Coronavirus Infections Rise In China
A second wave of infections is feared in China after the country recorded its highest number of daily new coronavirus cases in almost six weeks after restrictions were eased.
108 new coronavirus cases were reported in mainland China on Sunday, up from 99 on Saturday. This was the highest number of cases since 143 infections were reported on March 5.
Chinese health officials say the sudden spike is due to infected travellers arriving from abroad, many of them crossing the border from Russia.
Reports indicate that a total of 49 Chinese nationals who entered Heilongjiang province from Russia tested positive. A resident of the border city of Suifenhe identified as Zhu said:
