On 1/1 China reported 8 new domestic confirmed and 3 new domestic asymptomatic cases.
Dalian in Liaoning Province reported 4 new domestic confirmed cases (all moderate). Both confirmed cases are in moderate condition. None of the cases appear to traced close contacts, but are from residential compounds under lock down, and so have not left home since 12/22 or 12/25. They all had initially tested positive on 12/29, and were confirmed upon re-test, before finally being reported on 1/1. My impression is that Dalian has been less effective with contact tracing, less prompt and less comprehensive with information sharing, than other places in China. There are currently 47 domestic confirmed cases and 30 domestic asymptomatic cases in the city. There are 13 communities, 2 residential compounds and a village at Medium Risk in the city.
