COVID-19 cases with confirmed symptoms were reported in China on Tuesday marking the highest daily count since 2 November this years.
This was also a significant jump from 21 cases that were reported a day before. All of the 91 local symptomatic cases were reported in the northern Chinese region of Inner Mongolia, National Health Commission data showed.
A total of 132 symptomatic cases have been reported from Inner Mongolia in three day, i.e. between November 28 and 30. More than 70% of the cases have been recorded in Manzhouli, a small city next to the border with Russia.
