CHINA-HEALTH EMERGENCY: CHINA RECORDS NO NEW LOCALLY TRANSMITTED CASES
Official figures showed (March 18) that for the first day since the virus took hold late last year, China has recorded no locally transmitted cases. The main risk now comes from imported cases. Beijing recorded 21 new cases of infections from abroad on Wednesday, mostly people traveling from Spain and Britain. The Beijing infections accounted for the bulk of the 34 new imported cases in mainland China. As life returns to normal, the risk of a second wave increases. That risk is further heightened by the rapid spread of the virus outside China.
