China reported six new Covid-19 cases on September 21, down from 12 a day earlier, the national health authority said on Tuesday.

The National Health Commission said in a statement all of the new cases were imported infections involving travellers from overseas.

It also reported 15 new asymptomatic cases, also down from 25 reported a day earlier, though China does not classify these symptomless patients as confirmed Covid-19 cases.

The total number of confirmed infections for mainland China now stands at 85,297, while the total death toll remained unchanged at 4,634. (Reuters)
