BEIJING (Reuters) – China is facing an increased risk of local transmission of the new coronavirus in the winter due to imported cases from abroad, said a senior official at the country’s health authority.
In winter, there might be some sporadic cases in China, Li Bin, vice minister of the National Health Commission, said at a press conference.
China’s epidemic prevention and control work cannot be relaxed for a single moment, Li warned.
