China’s new locally transmitted cases of the novel coronavirus have fallen to a one-month low as a cluster in the western region of Xinjiang receded, data released by the country’s health authority showed.
The number of locally transmitted cases in China dropped to four on Aug 15, all of which were in Xinjiang, the National Health Commission said in a statement. That compares with eight cases nationwide a day earlier, and is the lowest since July 16.
No new locally transmitted cases were recorded on Aug 15 in the city of Shenzhen in southern Guangdong province, after provincial authorities there reported fresh infections a day earlier.
