The National Health Commission said in a statement 36 of the new cases were local infections and 16 infections originated overseas.

The number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, fell to 16 from 42 a day earlier.

Total confirmed COVID-19 cases in Mainland China now stand at 89,430, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4,636.
