China reported a fourth day of new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases in a handful of cities across China, prompting alarmed local governments to double down on efforts to track potential carriers amid the country's zero-tolerance policy.
A total of 17 new local cases were reported for October 19, up from nine a day earlier, data from the National Health Commission (NHC) showed on Wednesday.
The new cases were reported in eight cities and administrative divisions, more than four for October 18, the bulk of which were in northern and northwestern China.
Three separate cases were also reported in recent days in the south and southwest of China.
