China had 36 new cases on Tuesday, the National Health Commission said on Wednesday, down from 48 a day earlier.All but one of the cases were imported, bringing the total number of imported cases to 806. Another 130 asymptomatic cases were reported, with a total of 1,367 such cases under observation as of Mar 31.Chinese health authorities began on Wednesday reporting on asymptomatic cases of the coronavirus as part of an effort to allay public fears that people could be spreading the virus without knowing they are infected with it.China, where the coronavirus emerged late last year, has managed to bring its outbreak under control and is easing travel restrictions in virus hot spots.
But there are concerns that the end of lockdowns will see thousands of infectious people move back into daily life without knowing they carry the virus, because they have no symptoms and so have not been tested.
