China will no longer report new asymptomatic COVID-19 infection figures, China's National Health Commission (NHC) announced on Wednesday.

As China optimized pandemic prevention and control measures, mass nucleic acid testing was canceled and COVID-19 patients who are asymptomatic or exhibit mild symptoms can be treated at home, making it hard to get accurate statistics, according to the NHC.
