Six new covid cases have been reported in Guangdong Province and two in Tianjin City.
The National Health Commission also reported 18 cases brought in from abroad.
129 patients with covid were registered as recovered yesterday. 1,571 people remain in Chinese hospitals for treatment.

The number of deaths in the country has remained unchanged for more than a year - 4636.
