China reported 11 new Covid-19 cases and seven asymptomatic infections during the last 24 hours, the national health authority said on Saturday.

In a press statement, the National Health Commission (NHC) said five of the new confirmed patients were so-called imported cases involving travellers from overseas.

The six locally transmitted cases were all in Beijing, the statement said.

To date, the total Covid-19 caseload in mainland China now stands at 83,075, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4,634. China does not count asymptomatic patients, who are infected with the virus but do not display symptoms, as confirmed cases
