JAKARTA - A total of 24 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in China on Thursday, May 20, up from 12 cases the day before, local health authorities said on Friday, May 21.

China's National Health Commission said in a statement that all new cases came from abroad.

The number of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases, which China has not included in confirmed cases, rose to 25 from 16 cases the day before.

To date, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in China has reached 90.944 cases, with an unchanged number of deaths, namely 4.636 deaths.

China, with a population of over 1 billion, managed to contain the rate of COVID-19 infection and reduce the number of deaths from the virus that was first discovered in Wuhan city, China.

The situation contrasts with other large-population countries such as India, the United States, and Brazil, which have had infections in large numbers and skyrocketing numbers of deaths. As reported by Antara from Reuters.
