China reported on Tuesday just one new domestic coronavirus infection but found 20 more cases imported from abroad, threatening to spoil its progress against the disease.
Beijing started on Monday to require almost all international arrivals to go into 14-day quarantine in designated hotels.
People who live alone, minors, the elderly, pregnant women and people with underlying conditions are allowed to confine themselves at home.
Nine of the 20 new imported cases were in Beijing and three in Shanghai, raising the total number of confirmed infections from abroad to 143, according to the National Health Commission.
The country has recorded 80,881 total cases, but fewer than 9,000 people remain infected.
