BEIJING — Remarkable progress has been made in China's COVID-19 containment, as the resurgence is easing yet fluctuating, an official said on June 28.

China reported 25 new local COVID-19 infection cases on average daily from June 20 to 27, said Lei Zhenglong, an official with the National Health Commission.

Infections are still being reported in some areas, Lei said, warning of the risk of community spread.

The pandemic is developing, and the COVID-19 virus is evolving, Lei said, adding that China still faces a tough situation in its COVID-19 containment.
