Since mid-February, China has not included patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 but show no symptoms in its official count—leading to worry over whether China’s numbers reflected the magnitude of infections.
Wuhan's reporting of new cases in multiple consecutive days, has not included asymptomatic cases.
While most new reported cases in China in recent weeks are of the imported variety from Europe or the U.S., a local transmission case popped up over the weekend in the western province of Gansu.
