China reported 12 new coronavirus disease infections in the mainland for April 6, down from 24 a day earlier.

The National Health Commission, in a statement, said Wednesday, two of the new patients were local infections. Both were reported in Ruili, a city in southwestern Yunnan province that borders Myanmar where a new cluster emerged last week.

The number of new non symptomatic patients, which China does not classify as confirmed, fell to eight from 17 a day earlier.
