China's far western region of Xinjiang has launched an emergency response after identifying an asymptomatic case of the coronavirus in the city of Kashgar, the health commission said.
The patient, a 17-year-old woman, was found after being tested during a regular inspection and has been transferred to a hospital in the city, the commission said in a statement.
The discovery marks mainland China's first local case since Oct 14, when one was found in Qingdao.
