    After over 20 days of zero domestic COVID-19 cases, a newly emerging cluster is sounding the alarm across China.

    Locally transmitted cases had been reported in 17 provincial regions in the country as of August 4, according to the National Health Commission (NHC).

    China had 144 medium and high-risk regions for COVID-19, said NHC spokesperson Mi Feng on August 4. That is a record high since the infections in Wuhan of Hubei Province were contained last spring, according to him.

    Currently, there are four high-risk regions, respectively in Jiangsu’s Nanjing and Yangzhou, Yunnan’s Ruili and Henan’s Zhengzhou. The first batch of cases in the new cluster was confirmed in Nanjing on July 20.
