China reported no new local cases of the deadly coronavirus on Monday, but confirmed another 39 infections brought in from overseas.
Nine more people died, the National Health Commission said, all in the epicentre city of Wuhan where the virus first emerged late last year.
Two months after China took the dramatic steps to lock down some 56 million people in Wuhan and the surrounding province of Hubei, infections have slowed dramatically, and for five consecutive days there have been no new cases in the province.
Travel and work restrictions in the province have been gradually eased and Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Wuhan earlier this month - his first since the crisis erupted.
