Overseas, one case has been confirmed in Japan, two in Thailand, and one in the Republic of Korea.

The prevention and control work is crucial at the moment due to the large passenger flows during the Spring Festival holiday, Xi said.
The Party committees and governments at all levels must put people's safety and health as the top priority and take effective measures to curb the spread of the virus, he said.
