On January 31, the spokesperson of the National Health Commission Mi Feng said that since January 2021, there have been a total of 2016 new local confirmed cases nationwide, which is the most in a single month since March 2020. The epidemic is spreading sporadically and concentrated in local areas. Sexual epidemics are intertwined and superimposed.

In the second half of this week, the number of existing local confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections across the country has begun to decline, and the prevention and control effects in areas where clusters of epidemics occurred in the previous period have begun to show. Divisional and hierarchical prevention and control measures are being promoted, and the overall risk of the national epidemic can be controlled.
