Mainland China had 34 new confirmed cases on Wednesday, the country’s National Health Commission said, more than doubling from 13 cases a day earlier. China reported 0 — zero — domestically acquired cases of #Covid19 on March 18. The country reported 34 new cases, but they were all people infected abroad.
