No new coronavirus asymptomatic cases reported in Wuhan for 1st time

The National Health Commission said on Monday that no new domestically transmitted Covid-19 cases were reported on the mainland on Sunday

Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province where the Covid-19 pandemic originated last December, reported no new asymptomatic cases for the first time since the city released figures on the virus carriers showing no symptoms, authorities said on Monday.

The city conducted more than 60,000 nucleic acid tests on Sunday, finding no new asymptomatic cases, according to a statement issued on Monday by the municipal health commission.

Wuhan started a campaign on May 14 to expand nucleic acid testing in order to better know the number of asymptomatic cases or people who show no clear symptoms despite carrying the virus,
