China's new COVID-19 cases below 10 for three straight days

The number of China's newly confirmed imported and domestic cases remained below 10 for the third straight day on Monday. The number of severe cases in central China's Hubei Province has dropped below 20 for the first time since January, the National Health Commission said on Tuesday.

However, the number in other provinces fluctuated in the past week with occurrence of cluster cases. The national health body said it will continue to focus on routine prevention and control, pool superior resources and technical strength, and do the best to treat every patient.

The situation of epidemic prevention and control in China is generally good, especially the medical treatment of patients has achieved remarkable results, and more and more patients have been cured and discharged. More than 77,000 cured patients have now been discharged, with a cure rate of more than 94 percent, the commission added.
