Chongqing, a southwestern city of 32 million people, reported 8,861 new locally transmitted COVID-19 infections, up almost 15% from the 7,721 recorded a day before.
Guangzhou, a prosperous city in the south of nearly 19 million people, reported a marginal decrease in local cases at 7,412, compared with 7,419 a day before, local authorities said.
