Jilin has emerged as the source of a potential new wave of
infections, with its city of Shulan forced to adjust the risk level to
"high" from "medium" at the weekend.
Five of the six new infections could be
traced directly to one confirmed case in Shulan, the local health commission
said on May 13.
All six were identified in the
province's second largest city, also called Jilin, which will now temporarily
suspend departing or transiting train services for passengers.
China also confirmed eight new asymptomatic
coronavirus cases on May 12, down from 15 the day before.
