BEIJING -- The Chinese mainland on Friday reported one new locally transmitted COVID-19 case in Yunnan Province, the National Health Commission said in its daily report on Saturday.

The same day also saw 14 new imported cases on the mainland. Of them, three each were reported in Shanghai and Guangdong, two each in Tianjin, Sichuan and Shaanxi, and one each in Inner Mongolia and Zhejiang.

No new suspected COVID-19 cases or new deaths related to COVID-19 were reported.

Southwest China's Yunnan province reported one confirmed COVID-19 case on Friday, the provincial health commission said Saturday.

The case was found among a group of people who had been potentially exposed to the coronavirus and are under quarantine, after new locally-transmitted COVID-19 cases began to emerge in late March, the commission said.

As of Friday, 84 confirmed cases, including four imported ones, as well as 20 asymptomatic cases are receiving treatment or under medical observation in designated hospitals in the province.
