China reported 14 new COVID-19 cases on May 18, down from 22 cases a day earlier, the country's national health authority said on Wednesday.


The National Health Commission, in a statement, said all of the new cases were imported infections originating from overseas. The number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, fell to 13 from 20 cases a day earlier.

The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in China now stands at 90,908, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4,636.


China has the ability to administer over 20 million doses a day if needed, China’s leading immunologist said, as China accelerates its vaccination rate amid an epidemic flare-up.




“The public has no need to worry about the country’s vaccine supply. Our vaccines are sufficient and production capacity will be gradually released. Nationwide daily administered doses can surpass 20 million if needed,” Shao Yiming, China’s leading physician-scientist and immunologist serving at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told Chinese media.

China is pushing ahead with its national vaccination campaign with an average of more than 10 million doses administered per day. The daily number has increased, especially after a new case was discovered in East China's Anhui Province on May 13, as more people realize the importance of vaccines for self-protection.

Administered doses nationwide exceeded 15 million on Monday, a new daily high.
