China on Monday reported the highest number of new Coronavirus cases in nearly six weeks.
This occurred as the country battles to prevent more COVID-19 infections, weeks after containing the pandemic.
No fewer than 108 people tested positive in the past 24 hours, Dpa reports.
The figure includes 98 travellers returning from abroad, according to the National Health Commission.
There are concerns about a resurgence of the disease since March 6, when authorities counted 143 new cases.
