Four more coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the city, with another 68 suspected cases ruled out, the Shanghai Health Commission said yesterday afternoon.

So far, the city has reported a total of 299 infections and ruled out 1,130 suspected cases.

The four new patients — two from Minhang District and one each from Jiading and Jinshan districts — are all Shanghai residents who have local registered residency or stayed in the city for over six months.

Among the 299 confirmed patients, aged between 7 months and 88 years old, three are still under investigation for how they became infected.

A total of 97 patients are from outside — 66 from Wuhan, 23 from other cities in Hubei Province, two each from Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and one each from Heilongjiang, Hunan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.

The SHC said that 230 patients are stable, 10 are in serious condition and 10 are critical. Forty-eight patients have recovered and been discharged from hospital. There has been only one local fatality. Another 205 suspected cases are undergoing tests.

Details of an outbreak in a traveler group were also released yesterday.

Two travelers who had recent contact with Wuhan were diagnosed with coronavirus infection while in France at the end of last month. Another two family members, who went to Wuhan and France together with the two, were also detected as suspected cases upon arrival at Pudong airport and both were confirmed infected later.

A total of 29 people, including members of their traveling group, other passengers and airline staff exposed to the pair, were placed under quarantine. Three members of the group have been confirmed with infection and the rest are still under observation.
