China has reported 48 new confirmed coronavirus cases reversing four days of decline. The country has seen an uptick in infections involving travellers arriving from overseas.
Mainland China had 48 new cases on Monday, the National Health Commission said in a statement, up from 31 new infections a day earlier.
All of the 48 cases were imported, bringing the total number of imported cases in China to 771. There was no reported new case of local infection, according to the National Health Commission.
While locally transmitted infections in China have mostly declined, authorities are concerned about cases involving travellers who have caught the virus abroad.
