BEIJING (Reuters): Mainland China reported an overall drop in new coronavirus infections on Sunday (March 15), but major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai continued to wrestle with cases involving infected travellers arriving from abroad.
Mainland China had 16 new confirmed cases on Sunday, the National Health Commission said on Monday, down from 20 a day earlier. That brings the total number of confirmed cases in China so far to 80,860.
Beijing accounted for four of the cases, Guangdong province four, Shanghai two, Yunnan province one and Gansu province one. That brings the total number of imported cases to 123 so far. Beijing has redirected all international flights that were scheduled to land at its new Daxing International Airport in the south to the older Beijing Capital International Airport in the northeast.
Mainland China's only locally transmitted new infections on Sunday were in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak and capital of Hubei province, with four cases.
