China reported 25 new Covid-19 cases on the mainland for Sept 10, up from 17 a day earlier, the national health authority has said.

One of the new infections was locally transmitted while the rest were imported, Reuters quotes the National Health Commission as saying.

The number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, was 21, the same as the day before. Of the new cases, five were local.

The state-owned People's Daily reported that all provincial and intercity shuttle buses running from Putian were suspended from Saturday as part of epidemic prevention and control measures.
