China’s National Health Commission also reported the first double-digit increase in countrywide cases in nearly 10 days, saying 14 new infections had been confirmed.
Two of the cases were imported into the country from overseas, the commission said.
The virus first emerged in Wuhan, a major industrial and transport city in central China, in December.
It has since infected nearly four million people worldwide — claiming more than 270,000 lives — and crippled the global economy.
The total number infected in China is 82,901, with an official death toll of 4,633.
No new deaths have been reported for nearly a month.
Authorities started lifting restrictions in late March.
