BEIJING: China reported 11 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday (Apr 15), up from 10 cases a day earlier, the country's national health authority said on Friday.

The National Health Commission said in a statement one of the new cases was a local infection reported in southwestern Yunnan province, which discovered a new cluster in late March at a city on the border with Myanmar.

The number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, rose to 31 from 15 cases a day earlier.

The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in China now stands at 90,468, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4,636.
