When the corona 19 test showed a positive response, the Chinese authorities, who did not include asymptomatic cases without symptoms such as cough and fever, were informed of the decrease in the number of diagnosed cases, and the status of the asymptomatic cases was released for the first time.

In the 130 outbreaks, 2 were converted to confirmatory, and 302 were released from quarantine, with 1,367 asymptomatic.

It is an attempt to dispel statistical disbelief, but it is far from the Hong Kong media reports that it will reach 43,000.

Authorities say 70% of asymptomatic infections occur in Hubei Province, strengthening the management of asymptomatic cases.

The case of overseas inflow continues.

On the flight from Denmark to Beijing, 19 suspected passengers are known to be on board, straining the authorities.
