From Sunday to 3 p.m. yesterday, East China’s Zhejiang Province logged 12 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 13 asymptomatic cases in three cities amid the latest resurgence.
All local cases were registered in Ningbo, Shaoxing and Hangzhou. Another 16 positive nucleic acid testing results collected in the province are awaiting further diagnosis before being registered as COVID-19 cases, local authorities said during a press conference yesterday.
More than 1.33 million residents in the three cities have been sampled for nucleic acid testing to date, among which about 720,000 have received results.
The province now has five areas classified as medium-risk for COVID-19.
The province’s neighboring municipality Shanghai also reported one local case Tuesday.

The neighborhood will also undergo closed-loop management for 14 days.
